BUSINESSES are prime targets for terrorist attacks and the situation is no different in Guernsey, according to specialist security advisers.
Officers from the National Counter- Terrorism Security Office were in the island on Tuesday to urge business leaders to prepare for the worst. Detective Chief Inspector Chris Phillips said terrorism was undoubtedly going to have an impact on everyone.
‘It’s a generational thing and we will have to face it for years to come. Terrorism has been around for centuries, but what we now have to deal with is totally different. Its measure of success is the number of human casualties coordinated through multiple attacks and it’s businesses that are the primary targets.’
