SECRETEvent summary
"ON 10 APR, AT 1048L3 PASSENGERS IN A BROWN VAN TOOK PICTURES OF THE FRONT GATE AREA OF CAMP SOUTER. THE PASSENGERS INSIDE WERE ASSESSED AS AFGHANS. TWO OF THEM APPEARED TO BE 20 TO 22 YEARS OLD AND THE OTHER ONE APPEARED TO BE 30 TO 35 YEARS OLD. NO PLATE NUMBER WAS AVAILABLE. KMNB G2 COMMENT: THE UK KPC FIELD SECURITY TEAM IS INVESTIGATING THE INCIDENT. IF ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS RECEIVED BY KMNB IT WILL BE DISSEMINATED. CJ2 COMMENT: THIS IS THE SECOND REPORT WITHIN A WEEK REGARDING PHOTOGRAPHS BEING TAKEN OF CAMP SOUTER. ON 06 APR, A SENTRY AT THE FRONT GATE SPOTTED A CAR OUTSIDE CAMP SOUTER FILMING OR TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE ENTRANCE WITH A DIGITAL DEVICE. THESE TWO INCIDENTS MAY INDICATE INCREASED SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITY. OFTEN TIMES, SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITY IS A PRE-OPERATIONAL INDICATION OF AN ATTACK. HISTORICALLY, MOST ATTACKS ON ROUTE VIOLET WERE CONCENTRATED AROUND CAMP SOUTER; THEREFORE, THIS INCIDENT SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY. HOWEVER, THE GUARD FORCE AT CAMP SOUTER HAS RECENTLY ROTATED AND TWO REPORTS WITHIN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD, MAY REFLECT INCREASED VIGILANCE ON THE PART OF THE NEW FORCE."
