ESCAPING FROM CAPTIVITY

Israeli  Anti-Terrorism Training School

Duration:  3 days

Location:  Las Vegas, Nevada

Course Summary:  Surviving execution, beheading and other assassination attempts.  The Only Course of its kind offered in the world. Currently, this course is the only source for training in the fields of surviving execution attempts and escaping from captivity. Since the beginning of the War on Terror, and before, many people have lost their lives while in captivity in very cruel ways. Still, others are at great risk. Soldiers, Police Officers, Security Personnel, Overseas Contractors, Executives, PSD Operators, Diplomatic Service Personnel and Civilians can greatly benefit from this course.

Hostile kidnappings can happen in any part of the world, not just in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, South & Central America. Once kidnapped, the situation can go from bad to worse ending in the captive being beheaded or executed in some other cruel manner. These counter assassination and execution techniques have been developed to counter the situations observed on Execution Videos that have been released by Terrorists groups.
