Kabul Security Team Recommendations?

[LondonIrish]

Hi there,

Looking at running a very short on the ground meeting in Kabul at some stage in the next few months. Probably three days on the ground, airport pickups, secure accommodation, a meeting location for about 14-16 people including local nationals.

Anyone have any recommendations on decent teams/companies on the ground that can sort and cover the security aspects of that?

Maybe you should check with local like Reuters, usually journalists have local knowledge. If you can spare some hours with the computer you may be able to get valuable humint playing your cards

In any case my advice would be for you to prepare at least 3 locations until last minute...
