Analyst Comments:
As the list below shows, vehicles can be a weapon used by perpetrators of hate crimes and also by terrorists. Faith-Based Organizations should consider reviewing and improving their facility’s protection against these types of attacks. Also, members of the faith community should consider being aware of their surroundings while in public. Be on the alert for any kind of possible attack. A general rule of thumb is that there is safety in numbers, but vehicle attackers aim for large crowds. When in a crowd, it is good to be aware of at least one escape route.
