Terrorist attacks to be simulated

Personnel from Pierce Transit and first-responder agencies, including Graham Fire and Rescue and Pierce County Sheriff Department, will participate in a terrorist-response exercise Thursday. Simulations of attacks on passengers in transit buses will be carried out in two locations GÇô Sprinker Recreation Center in Spanaway and Washington State Fair in Puyallup . More than 60 volunteers will play the roles of passengers on the buses. A bombing of a bus will be simulated at Sprinker, while terrorists taking passengers hostage will be the scenario at the fairgrounds, officials said.
