Possible signs of terrorism
You may have vital information. If you hear, see or come across anything that may be linked with terrorist activity, please tell the police. They want to hear from you.
Terrorists need:
a place to live - are you suspicious about any tenants or guests?to plan - have you seen anyone pay an unusual amount of attention to security measures at any location?money - individuals may set up bogus bank accounts, copy credit cards, return goods for large cash refundsequipment - if you are a retailer, do you have any cause to be suspicious about anything being bought?
The ability to prevent a terrorist attack does not depend on the authorities alone. A lot also depends on you.
