What is iWATCH?

iWATCH is a way to report suspicious behavior or activity that relates to terrorism. Terrorism is a crime. It is our shared responsibility to keep us safe.

Reporting is easy – use the web or the phone and let law enforcement determine the threat – let the experts decide.

A simple observation, a single report, can lead to actions that stop a terrorist attack.

WHY Should You Report?

Since the 9/11 attacks, dozens of extremists have plotted to use explosives to further their causes in the United States

- At least 380 people were indicted on terrorism-related charges in the U.S. from September 11, 2001 - December 31, 2012 with more than 60 due to informants.

- 207 of those people indicted were identified as "jihadist" terrorists who subscribe broadly to the ideology of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda.

- 174 of those people indicted are "non-jihadist" terrorists, who subscribe to violent, radical interpretations of one of the following ideologies: rightwing, leftwing, animal rights activism, environmental activism, or anarchism.

- 51 rightwing extremists, 23 jihadist extremists and 5 anarchists were able to acquire explosives or bomb-making components.

- At least 29 people have been killed by non-jihadist extremists, while 17 people have been killed by jihadists.

2007 – Fort Dix Attack Plot: A planned attack on Fort Dix was stopped when two employees of a Circuit City in Mount Laurel, New Jersey alerted authorities, after viewing a terrorist training video brought in for conversion into a DVD.

2010 – Times Square Car Bombing Attempt: A planned terrorist attack that was foiled when two street vendors spotted smoke coming from a vehicle and alerted a New York Police Department.

2011 – Planned Massacre at Fort Hood: The staff of the Guns Galore gun store in Killeen, Texas near Fort Hood noted that a customer had purchased an unusually large amount of smokeless gunpowder, three boxes of shotgun ammunition, and a magazine for a pistol. A clerk notified the Killeen Police Department which led to the eventual capture of a disgruntled soldier planning a massacre at Fort Hood.

2012 – Planned Massacre in Tampa Florida to Avenge Wrongs:

Sami Osmakac had been under investigation since September 2011, when a confidential source informed federal authorities that Osmakac walked into a business seeking al-Qaeda flags. He was later arrested before his plan to bomb nightclubs, detonate a car bomb, fire an assault rifle, wear an explosive belt in a crowded area, and take hostages could take place.

Reporting Works: Planned Attacks Averted through Public Reporting

WHAT to Report:

Suspicious Behavior

Terrorists, when not acting alone, need to meet with their conspirators and often times work within a cell.

Pay attention to visitors/guests that:

Arrive and leave at unusual hours Try not to be noticed Act in a suspicious manner Park an unusual distance from the meeting Have an unusual number of unrelated people living together

Some signs that may raise your suspicions:

Someone bragging or talking about plans to harm citizens or claiming membership in a terrorist organization

They only let you into the apartment or house with plenty of prior notice

They change the locks often They keep certain rooms off limits They cover tables and other pieces of furniture They never allow maid service in a hotel room or only take hotel room service outside the door

Unusual Interest in High Risk or Symbolic Targets

Situation: You are at a national monument and you notice a person nearby taking several photos, which is not unusual, but then you notice that the person is only taking photos of the locations surveillance cameras, entrance crash barriers and access control procedures ‒ is that normal for a tourist?

The following should cause a heightened sense of suspicion:

Suspicious or unusual interest Surveillance (suspicious in nature) Inappropriate photographs or videos Note-taking Drawing of diagrams Annotating maps Using binoculars or night vision devices

WHAT to Report:

Suspicious Activities

Deliveries are a common method for terrorists to carry out their attacks

Be aware of:

Unusual or unexpected mail Unusual purchases or thefts A vehicle with hazardous material parked or driving in an inappropriate area Unusual deliveries of chemicals or fertilizer Unattended bags or boxes in a public access place Fire extinguishers that may have been moved or tampered with

Pay attention to purchases, rentals or thefts of:

Police, security, public utility, mail carrier, or airline uniforms and equipment

Explosives Weapons Ammunition Propane bottles Toxic chemicals Vehicles able to contain or haul hazardous materials

What To Do If You Spot Suspicious Terrorist Activity

Take note of the details:

S – Size (Jot down the number of people, gender, ages, and physical descriptions) A – Activity (Describe exactly what they are doing) L – Location (Provide the exact location) U – Uniform (Describe what they are wearing, including shoes) T – Time (Provide date, time, and duration of activity) E – Equipment (Describe vehicle, make, color, license plate, camera, guns, etc.)

Suspicious activity is often recalled after an event. We must train ourselves to be on the lookout for things that are out of the ordinary and arouse suspicions.

A Single Report can lead to actions that may STOP a terrorist attack
