picked up by a patrol guard to transport it to the Security Control Room for safekeeping.

secured in an envelope. Ensure that the person reporting it does not handle or
photocopy it without the express permission of the ASF representative or a member of
the EMT.
If a location has been identified, the DC should assist in conducting an immediate
search with the ASF representative and secure the location.
Contact the PM and ASF representative and inform them of the threat details. Use

Indicators of a Suspected Car Bomb Vehicle
Recent events showed that terrorists have become more aggressive in causing
damage by employing car bombs. Below are some considerations of a suspect
vehicle:
The vehicle would probably be 3 to 5 years old or older.
It would probably be, but not necessarily, a van-type vehicle e.g. FX, REVO,
Highlander, etc.
It would appear heavily loaded judging from the play of the suspension e.g.
more depressed suspensions.
It would be difficult to see inside the vehicle e.g., windshields and windows
either covered or heavily tinted.
It may be abandoned too closely to a building and/or where it should not be
parked or driven right into the building's basement parking.
The license numbers of the LTO sticker stuck on the license plates and the
LTO sticker stuck on the windshield are different indicating changed plates (low
probability).
K-9 inspection would indicate a positive reaction.
Probably no more than two passengers including driver on arrival.
Driver/Passenger, would have an acceptable cover story for being there if
accosted or would panic and run. Cover story of a stalled vehicle right in front of
the building must be viewed with utmost suspicion. Vehicle may even be marked
like a legitimate delivery vehicle.
The odor of urea/nitrogenous compounds (smell like urine and/or ammonia) may
be perceptible around the vehicle.
