anti-terrorism units
Special threat responders
Anti-terrorism units are specialized law enforcement or military teams trained to prevent, respond to, and neutralize terrorist threats.
They handle hostage situations, conduct raids on suspected terrorist cells, and protect high-value targets.
Most countries maintain such units within police forces, intelligence agencies, or armed services: The anti-terrorism unit stormed the building at dawn.
