A group of officers and NCOs of the Italian paramilitary police "Carabinieri" is training at the Fort Benning, GA WHISC.
The group has been admitted to the school, which is was designed to train Latin American military personnel, by the request of the Department of Defense.
Prime Minister Berlusconi of Italy has asked the Department of State for the US to allow some elite troops to be trained after the riots that have shadowed the G8 meeting in Genoa. "From events of Genoa – an Italian official said – we have learned that we need better tools to gather intelligence, obtain information and isolate troublemakers" .
The Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHISC), is a US Army training school that trains soldiers and military personnel in subjects like counter-insurgency, crowd control, riot control tactics, military intelligence, interrogation techniques, and commando operations.
Lt. Col. Robert "Bobby" Strother told us that "the Italians have been trained in riot control tactics, crowd control , intelligence, and aggressive interrogation techniques".
One of the Carabinieri officers, who has requested to remain anonymous, told us that this training will allow then a better response to riots like the ones during the G8 meeting, will allow them to avoid some of the mistakes they have made mainly concerning the prisoners treatment and will give them the proper training to "extract the information from the prisoners we think are involved in violent activities".
