On behalf of the 2012 Counter Terror Expo Team I would like to thank you for supporting Counter Terror Expo.

We are pleased to advise that the 2012 event went extremely well and was well attended with a good attendance across both days. This result could not have been achieved without the support of our online media, journals and association supporters.

Counter Terror Expo 2012 delegates are set to discover how the momentous events that have occurred during the past year, will force us to reassess and realign counter terrorism strategies to meet potential new threats emerging from the turmoil we have witnessed.

Previously hard-line autocracies across a swathe of North Africa have been toppled in popular uprisings; significant civil unrest has occurred in Middle East countries where demand for change continues to be heard loudly, political turmoil in some South Asian nations has given rise to fears a period of dangerous instability may be looming, whilst insurgency in some Sub Saharan countries has led to jihadist inspired terrorist atrocities.
