Ripped from the Headlines

Many of you probably have seen humor e-mails about real newspaper headlines that mean something different than what they actually say. I now offer the following, from today's "Hotline" (a daily press release of noteworthy items) from NMSU.

NMSU partners with law enforcement for suicide bombers training

New Mexico State University, the Las Cruces Police Department, the Dona Ana Sheriffs Department and the New Mexico State Police are pleased to join the U.S. Attorney’s Office - Anti Terrorism Advisory council and the FBI’s Terrorism Working Group in providing a free training program on suicide bombers.

The focus of this presentation will be on preparing against the spreading phenomenon of suicide terrorism and the security doctrine developed to counter this theat. The training will be presented by David Harel, who retired recently from the Israeli Security Agency after 23 years of service in a number of counter-terrorism and protective security posts.

The program is Thursday, August 14, 2008 from 8 a.m. to noon at Gerald Thomas Hall Auditorium. The program will be for law enforcement officers but is open to the public. RSVP to Rhonda Backinoff at rhonda.backinoff@usdoj.gov.
