Attack at Jedawal: Critical Lessons for AT Professionals: Online

On the night of 12 May 2003, three housing compounds in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were struck simultaneously by Al-Qaeda in a wave of bombings and armed assaults that echoed throughout the Kingdom.

Topics include:

Introduction • Overview of Events • Al-Jedawal Compound • Indicators & Warnings • The Attack • The Aftermath • Vinnell Compound Attack • Al-Hamra Compound Attack • Critical Lessons Learned

Student Comments

"I am a retired Marine Corps Intelligence/ Counterintelligence Officer. I have worked as a security consultant for the US Department of State, Diplomatic Security Service, Department of Defense, and Athens Olympic Committee for the last five years. I was very impressed with this course. There were many invaluable lessons to be learned from Mr Braden's first hand account of events.

	LtCol. J. Kammerer, USMC (Ret) Saber Global Security Consultants

"Individuals who have experienced severe trauma as a result of a negative event are often unable to carry on normally with their lives, yet Mr. Braden has managed to do so in a very positive manner which truly benefits all security personnel fortunate enough to hear his first-hand account of a devastating terrorist incident.

	Dr. M. Oehler Tokyo, Japan

"The material presented was amazing. Awesome job and awesome curriculum that is easy to follow and simple to understand.

	K. Marshall U.S. Army

"I appreciated Wally's straight-forward presentation of events. It is better to learn from others' mistakes and successes than to learn from our own failures when they happen. Very good analysis of the al Qaeda attacks to determine the strengths and weaknesses of security and I appreciated the recommendations for avoiding these pitfalls in the future.

	E. Vogt U.S. DOJ, Federal Bureau of Prisons
