A Sunwing passenger jet (SW703) traveling from Barkley Island to Victoria was hijacked by two gunmen from the Samedi Gang.
Although the Victoria Government was ready and eager to send its counter-terrorism task force (TF), the Barkley Island Government was initially reluctant. The Barkley Island Government believed that its National Defence Wing was capable of rescuing the hostages should it became necessary. They were also reluctant to accept Victoria’s offer, fearing that it would look weak politically if they accepted foreign military assistance. The TF, however, began and continued to conduct rehearsals and was ready to be deployed at a moment’s notice.
The negotiator was initially optimistic as the negotiation began. As a gesture of good faith, the gunmen released all women and children in exchange of food and water.

A Victorian special operations task force was assigned to ambush an exchange of radioactive material and capture a high value individual (HVI) codename Panther, a Russian arms dealer. Although Team 8 form the task force has setup an ambush to intercept the radioactive material and capture Panther, the arms dealer arrived at the exchange in a BTR armored personnel carrier along with a Russian Spetsnaz unit. A strategic decision was made for Team 8 to stand down, fearing a direct engagement with Russian troops.
Although Panther was allowed to escape, the task force had a "bump plan" to intercept the radioactive material. The Advanced Force Operations teams continued to track the vehicles carrying the radioactive material. As the vehicles entered the Great Desert, Team 7 performed a heliborne interception.
Did Team 7 capture the radioactive material? To be continued...

A Victorian special operations task force was assigned to ambush an exchange of radioactive material and capture a high value individual (HVI) codename Panther, a Russian arms dealer.
The teams in the TF were assigned with different tasks. Team 8: the assault team, Team 55: the extraction team, and Team 7: the Quick Reaction Force (QRF). Video links with the Task Force's TOC, Victoria’s National Command Centre (NCC), United States’ Situation Room and United Kingdom’s COBRA were also setup to monitor the mission on the day of the exchange.
After conducting a high altitude high opening (HAHO) insertion, the assault team successfully infiltrated into the AO undetected and setup an ambush at the exchange site. Initially things seemed to be going according to plan as only two insurgents arrived at the exchange in two vehicles. However, Panther arrived at the exchange in a BTR armored personnel carrier along with a Russian Spetsnaz Unit. The assault team immediately radioed the TOC for instructions.

Criminals travelling across the border between Greater Manchester and Cheshire were greeted with more than a surprise on Thursday 26 June 2014, as officers from Greater
Manchester Police and Cheshire Police and took part in Operation Crossbow.
The overall aim of the joint operation was to disrupt illegal activity between the two counties and deny criminals the use of the roads.
By using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras officers were able to monitor virtually every vehicle that crossed between the two counties, stopping all vehicles that were on the roads illegally or were linked to criminal activity.
Cheshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Mark Roberts said: "We know that criminals don′t simply stop when they reach the border, and we also know that there is as strong link between illegal vehicles and other types of serious crime.
"Uninsured drivers are more likely to commit other offences and many of their vehicles are unroadworthy and pose as real danger to other road users.
"Using technology, such as ANPR cameras, we are able to use the intelligence available to us to identify offenders and bring them to justice."
Greater Manchester Police Inspector Matt Bailey-Smith said: "We will not allow the safety of our roads to be compromised by criminals and operations like today will help us achieve our overall aim of keeping criminals off our roads.
"However, offenders across Cheshire and Greater Manchester can be assured that this is not a one-off operation. Our officers patrol the roads 365 days a year and will continue to target criminals."
Operation Crossbow involved more than 200 officers from Cheshire Police and GMP, as well as staff from partner agencies such as the UK Border Agency, Department of Work and Pensions, Her Majesties Revenue and Customs and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.
ANPR cameras are able to monitor more than 3000 number plates every hour and alert officers if a vehicle is linked to known criminals. The cameras also inform officers whether or not the vehicle is taxed & insured.
Both Greater Manchester Police and Cheshire Police and are keen to remind members of the public that they too can help make our roads safer by reporting illegal use of vehicles to the police on 101. Alternatively information can be reported anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Today (10 December 2015) saw a series of raids in the Wythenshawe area.
Police have launched a ’12 days of Christmas’ pre-emptive strike against offenders causing misery during the festive period.
The 12 high-profile days of action which will tackle the traditional spike in crime usually seen during this time of year.
The operation, which is codenamed ‘Bauble’, will see up to 1,000 officers take to the streets across Greater Manchester to disrupt criminal activity and stop offenders in their tracks.
Operation Bauble will target a range of offences including burglary, domestic abuse, robbery, handling stolen goods, dangerous and illegal driving and alcohol-fuelled violence.
Local officers will be joined by specialist resources during each of the 12 days, including traffic, tactical aid, ANPR, intercept teams, mounted and dog units. The teams will blitz areas and weed out individual’s intent on committing crime and preying on vulnerable people.
Police are also calling on communities to keep themselves and others safe, report crime and suspicious activity and look out for neighbours, relatives and friends.
Superintendent Craig Thompson said: “We want law-abiding people to remember Christmas for all the right reasons and to make sure this happens we’ll be doing everything we can to take offenders off our streets through Operation Bauble.
“Divisional officers with the support of specialist resources will be targeting local issues to ensure there isn’t a spike in crime and people can go about their daily business safely.
“The community can also do their bit to keep themselves and others safe this time of year by keeping their homes secure, arranging a safe mode of transport after a night out or checking on elderly neighbours to see if they are OK.”
To report crime call Greater Manchester Police on 101 or 999 in an emergency. Alternatively please contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 111 555.

During Operation Blue Moon www.flickr.com/photos/8212187@N05/49182441817/in/datepost..., the Combined Anti-Terrorism Task Force (CATF) captured an Al-Asad financier. Interrogation of the financier revealed that they were in the process of purchasing radioactive material from Panther (a Russian arms dealer name Ulysses Klaue) as the terror group planned to build several dirty bombs to target Victoria, United States and the United Kingdom. He could not provide further details on the location of Panther, but the TF believed the plan was derailed with his capture. The financier, however, did revealed the location of several high value individuals in the network. The CATF began to surveil these individuals.
Several months later, the CATF captured a high value individual through the intelligence obtained from the financier. The HVI confirmed that Al-Asad did indeed had plans to obtain radioactive materials to build several dirty bombs and the plans became dormant since the capture of the financier. However, the plot had recently been revived. Further, the HVI provided the TF with the location where the terror group will be receiving the materials from Panther. The exchange would occur in an area within the Russian sphere of influence and Panther himself would be at the exchange. However, according to the HVI, security would be light since they wanted to avoid drawing any attention at the exchange. It was expected that they would be traveling in civilian vehicles.
The intelligence was shared among allied nations. After a discussion at the highest Government level, it was decided that CATF would be assigned to capture both the radioactive material and the HVT Panther.
A Victorian special operations task force was assigned with the operation. To keep the operation a secret, a task force out of rotation was assigned. After receiving their orders from the Squadron HQ's SCIF, the team commanders immediately gave Warning Orders to their team members and made preparations to depart for Camp Oasis.

A Victorian special operations task force was assigned to ambush an exchange of radioactive material and capture a high value individual (HVI) codename Panther, a Russian arms dealer.
Since the exchange would take place in an area within the Russian sphere of influence, no ISR or air asset would be available. The plan was to insert reconnaissance teams before the exchange to perform advanced force operations (AFO) and to provide overwatch during the exchange. An assault team would then enter the area of operations (AO) by high altitude high opening (HAHO) insertion and setup an ambush at the exchange.
A ground extraction team will infiltrate the AO by vehicles (including HMMWVs and Grizzly LAVs) under the guise of a routine patrol to extract the assault team once the radioactive material and the HVI have been secured.
The remaining of the task force would be the quick reaction force (QRF) loaded in helicopters waiting at a forward operating base (FOB) and called upon if needed.
3 AFO teams (callsigns Sparrowhawk 2,3 &12) in UTVs were inserted into the AO by Chinook helicopters and setup observation posts (OPs) to conduct reconnaissance and to provide overwatch.

Inside the medical building on Alcatraz. The shadow of the light fixture on the wall above the cabinets is from a light in the hallway shining through the open transom window above the door. The shadows on the right wall are from my LED flashlight. The table was lit from a low angle and the light fixture, from a high angle. Note their shadows are closer together than the actual objects are. The table was also lit from camera right. The stainless steel cabinets were difficult to deal with. Extremely reflective, I made sure to get as little light on them as possible so they would recede into the composition. It’s a composite of 2 exposures (the cabinets, table and floor from one, the rest from the other.)

Police seized 41 vehicles during a two-day traffic operation earlier this week.
Officers were out in force with partner agencies as part of Operation Unity, which targeted a range of offences on the roads.
Check sites were set up in Gorton, Eastlands, Bolton and Manchester and during the course of the two days 575 vehicles were stopped.
Twelve vehicles were seized for being used illegally in the UK, 24 vehicles were seized for no insurance, two were seized for being driven without a licence and three were seized by the DVLA.
Police also issued 100 Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) to motorists, including 43 to drivers using a mobile phone and 16 for seatbelt offences.
The Drive & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) issued 55 prohibitions to commercial drivers for vehicle defects.
One vehicle was dealt with for red diesel, six taxi drivers were suspended and a 50-year old man was arrested on suspicion of two robberies in Tameside and remains in police custody for questioning.
Sergeant Garry Lyle from GMP’s Traffic Enforcement Unit said: “Partners and officers came together over the last two days to target offenders and send a stark reminder out to motorists that we will not let them compromise the safety of others on our roads.
“The Traffic Enforcement Unit deals with offences such as these on a daily basis but not to the same extent. We’re really grateful to our partners for assisting us throughout the operation and look forward to doing more of the same in the very near future.”

With the surge of forces across the border and not any major forces in the area as they are fighting in the Philippines, resistance was light. The ROV Army Group E has lead the attack and have reached the city of Ipoh.
In other news, as the war in Europe and the Middle East pick up, ROV leaders are trying to make sure the massive war doesn't leak over into Asia. "This is a European war, lets keep it that way." stated an ROV spokesperson today at the press conference. They also plan on sending delegates to the CMC to not join into the war to try and save Asia from another possible world war.
