The Olympics

They start, soon...

As a starter at the blocks - for 10 - I give you an extract from the BBC web-site (James Reynolds' blog)...

Beijing's identified terrorism as the biggest threat to a successful Olympic Games.

So, the government has issued a citizens' anti-terrorist attack manual.

The manual's in Chinese. But my Chinese colleagues have translated some extracts...

How to detect terrorist suspects

Terrorist suspects won't put a sticker on their faces to say they are terrorists. However they will have some abnormal behaviour that can make us alert, such as:
• Those who look panicked and strange in their words and behaviour
• Those who dress in clothes that don't fit their identity or the weather
• Those who pretend to be close friends, and flatter
• Those who refuse to do security checks, and sound arrogant
• Those who frequently appear at big event venues
• Those who frequently appear around security areas
• Those who look like wanted suspects

What should you do after being kidnapped by terrorists?

• Keep calm. Don't resist. Believe the government
• Don't make eye contact with or speak to the terrorists. Bend your body down to the ground slowly
• Try to keep and hide your telecommunication device. Put your mobile phone into silent mode at the appropriate moment and send messages to police or call 110. If you send a text message, the content should include your location, the number of hostages, and the number of terrorists
• Pay attention to the number of terrorists and remember who their leader is for subsequent investigations
• At the moment of the police action, try your best to bend down and leave under the police protection
