Small Boat Attacks Against Maritime Interests

Although the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has no specific information indicating an imminent attack against maritime targets, terrorist organizations--most notably Al-Qaeda--have demonstrated the intent and operational capability to conduct attacks against high-profile maritime targets. This bulletin is designed to sensitize readers to the particular threat of the use of small boats as an attack method and to recognize the implementation of specific protective measures that may help mitigate against the threat.

Maritime attacks by terrorist organizations have involved the use of suicide operatives attacking either civilian or military maritime platforms with small boats laden with explosives. Small boats offer terrorists a flexible operational capability because they can blend in with other boats, require limited infrastructure, and provide cover for suspicious activities. This type of high profile attack has been demonstrated in past with both military and commercial vessels. While military vessels present more difficult targets due to their on-board armaments and early-warning systems, they are high risk because of their symbolic value. Al-Qaeda has also discussed targeting civilian vessels, such as cruise ships and ferries, which possess fewer security measures and are easier to strike.
