A1

1. GS 107 NTS Report

This area offers defensive value to the occupier, both local and general defence, and was favoured as an area to occupy. The houses in question were under construction, presenting soft ground suitable to hide main charges inside and outside of each house. Parts of the estate, mainly to the east, are assessed as uncontaminated; this area was used for living quarters by the occupiers and has since had some reoccupation by returning civilians. It’s well known that military EOD troops leave themselves open to anti-lift attack during their clearance operations due to their unsafe procedures; this was observed and taken advantage of by the occupier, and there has been a prolific use of anti-lift switches as a result. Cont. on Attachment 4.

Any additional information from direct & indirect evidence, inferences and assumptions

Initial Threat Assessment GS 107 TA (1) was conducted without the benefit of NTS Report GS 107, which divulged much useful information from the site and from speaking to the local military EOD detachment, notably the presence of anti-lift switches.
