Looking for footage of anti-terrorism operations

**Adrian II** · 04-25-2008, 23:39

I hope some of you can help me.

Since 2006 The Neds have a new anti-terror unit and I have been offered a guided tour cum demonstration some time later this year. So I have started up some research into recent developments in police and military anti-terrorism operations, particularly the special units trained for same.

I have some reports, I am talking to people, etcetera. Good autobiographical material (interviews, memoirs, etcetera) is not that hard to find.

Much harder to find is video footage of actual anti-terror unit operations. There is no shortage of crappy YouTube vids of all sorts of units wearing black moon suits and adopting action poses to the accompaniment of phat rhythms. I am not interested in that. I want the real stuff, warts and all.

I found some footage of historical actions such as the SAS assault on the Iranian embassy in London in 1980 and the GIGN assault on the dynamite-ridden plane in Marseille in 1994, but it doesn't amount to much. Can you guys point me to vids? Websites with good material? Museums?

Dude, all you need to do is play Rainbow Six. That will teach you everything you need to know about taking terrorists out of planes, museums, casinos, etc. It's quite educational.

Military Photos forum

LiveLeak

Just use the search function in the pictures and videos subforum and you should get plenty of hits for all sorts of operations. Sometimes it is just short clips sometimes tv documentaries about special ops.

Liveleak has a lot of various videos but is much more variable in its results but has a lot more.

EDIT:
To help you on your way here are some more specific pages of the forum and while I think these are not the type of videos you are looking for(more about ongoing operations in chad, afghanistan, hopefully they are useful.)

Though this is the backroom, I'm not sure whether it'd be alright to post direct links to videos with bloodshed and such should I find some for you.

Fantastic. Thanks to you I have already found footage I had been looking for in vain, and I am sure I will find lots more. Great links!

Thank you.

No, it's not. You can of course, PM your sources but please don't post them.

Spartan198's video is at the extreme end of the allowable spectrum.

Sorry. I though it would be okay since it's difficult to really see anything that constitutes bloodshed aside from bullets leaving the muzzle of an AR.

Counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, etc. is still war in my book.
But, like I said, that kind of thing is often highly-classified and never seen in the light of day.

Your best bet would probably be footage of police attack teams in action, in this case.

Just trying to help.

Can't you find footage of Americans bombing Ay-rabs in Eye-raq? That does count as anti-terrorism, doesn't it?

**Spartan198** · 04-26-2008, 05:34

Footage of actual CT teams like SEALs,Delta,& SAS is hard to come by since what they do is highly classified,but room-clearing and house-to-house fighting is an integral part of it,and this is a video of US Special Forces and Iraqi commandos in action under those circumstances.
Don't worry,it's legit.
