Police training for a terrorist attack
Yesterday, the Public Security Ministry released a Citizen's Anti-terrorist Handbook (公民防范恐怖袭击手册) which teaches people how to protect themselves in the event of a terrorist attack.
The handbook describes 39 potential terror scenarios including explosion, arson, gunshot, hijacking, bio attack, nuclear attack, and provides safety advice for each scenerio. Below is a translation of some details of the handbook from today's Beijing News.
When attempting to identify explosives, citizens should watch, listen, and sniff, but never touch. If the suspicious item smells like rotten eggs, it could be gun powder; if it smells like ammonia, it is possibly Ammonium Nitrate explosives.
What to do if you are kidnapped by terrorists? Stay calm; do not resist; do not stare the kidnapper in the eyes; do not talk; act slowly; try your best to conceal any communication devices; try to count the number of terrorists and identify their ringleader. When the police assault, stay on the ground.
