 Israel has been quietly training foreign bodyguards for the Saudi royal family. The bodyguards have trained at a private security facility in Israel's Negev desert. The training included protecting convoys from attack, escaping ambushes and the protection of VIPs. Three bodyguards, said to have been German nationals, completed a weeklong training course at the Counter Terrorism Training Center near the southern city of Rahat. The course included 23 foreigners, including bodyguards for the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. The center invited journalists to a simulated training exercise in November 2004. The course was run by former Israeli security experts and commandos. | Well yeah, you want the best, right? |
