For the SLPs in this course, your assignments will be based on unique scenarios, which have directly impacted Homeland Security. The scenario for the Module 1 SLP as follows:
A terrorist group, calling itself "Martyrs of Jihad" and claiming affiliation with al-Qaida, has successfully hijacked a U.S.-flagged cruise ship, Pacific Holiday, and vowed to kill hostages within 24 hours unless dozens of named terrorists are released from U.S. prisons and the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. U.S. military and civilian intelligence surveillance systems have verified the presence of numerous armed persons on board. In addition, as with the AchilleLauro incident, they have executed one passenger and thrown the body overboard to demonstrate their resolve. The vessel is currently traveling south towards Mexican territorial waters.
