Hong Kong handover 20th anniversary

Elite Hong Kong police units conduct anti-terror drill ahead of China leaders visit

The headquarters of the city’s auxiliary police force became the scene of a fierce mock battle between armed officers and police posing as terrorists, as the force carried out the first drill of its kind.

Top squads including the Special Duties Unit – also known as the “Flying Tigers” – the Counter Terrorism Response Unit, Police Tactical Unit and Explosive Ordnance Disposal Bureau were put through their paces to gauge their readiness for a terrorist attack.
