  • Daily Situation Report 07 November 2010 Safety and Security Issues Relevant to Sssi Personnel and Clients
    Strategic SSI - Afghanistan DAILY SITUATION REPORT 07 NOVEMBER 2010 SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUES RELEVANT TO SSSI PERSONNEL AND CLIENTS STANDING THREAT ASSESSMENT (KABUL): Threat reports continue to indicate that insurgents aspire to conduct coordinated attacks in Kabul City, as such the threat remains extant. Recent threat reporting has also indicated likely reconnaissance of areas and businesses frequented by members of the international community. Although no significant attacks were carried out in Kabul during the recent parliamentary election, or indeed after the event, the recent reduction in physical security in the city may provide insurgents with exploitable opportunities to carry out attacks. Suicide and complex attacks remain the preferred choice for insurgents in order to gain maximum casualties figures and the associated high degree of media attention. It remains possible that insurgents will still seek to undermine the democratic process by conducting high profile attacks when the final results are announced. It remains prudent for international agencies in the Kabul area to maintain a high degree of security vigilance. Sporadic IDF attacks in the city centre are to be expected. Any attacks are likely to consist of between one and four 107 mm rockets launched towards the city centre. Incidents of intimidation, executions by insurgents and targeting of government officials are increasing throughout the country. It seems to be a form of revenge by insurgents as they have lost more than 300 insurgent commanders over the past few months due to successful IM/ANSF operations.

  • Strategic SSI - Afghanistan
    Strategic SSI - Afghanistan DAILY SITUATION REPORT 26 MAY 2010 SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUES RELEVANT TO SSSI PERSONNEL AND CLIENTS The suicide/VBIED attack threat in Kabul city is still high with two more Threat Reports that were received. The Peace Jirga that is scheduled for Kabul was postponed for a second time on 24 May 10. The latest information is that the Peace Jirga will now take place in Kabul over the period 02 to 03 Jun 10, and that the two days before the start of the Peace Jirga will be utilized for preparations. It can be expected that the period 31 May to 03 Jun 10 will also be marked on the calendars of the insurgents. Therefore the threat levels will be elevated over that period, and so will the ANSF deployments and traffic congestion in the city also be.
