Will Geddes was responsible for setting up, and is now managing director, of the London-based International Corporate Protection (ICP), one of the UK's first corporate security consultants specialising in 'Close Protection'.

``There's a very high percentage chance that bin Laden is dead, Will Geddes, managing director of the London-based International Corporate Protection security company, said in a telephone interview today.

Even if bin Laden is alive, it may not be a ``massive blow to the U.S., Geddes said. ``Al-Qaeda is no longer one man leading an international army. The organization has become a ``generic umbrella name, he said.

In an article from The Daily Telegraph entitled "So how, exactly, do we spot a suicide bomber?" from 2005, he offers the following advice:

People who are about to undertake something high-risk will be perspiring. Look at their hands - where are they? In their pockets? Next thing: eyes. Are they furtive? Are they looking at the exit? Are they looking around the carriage? Are they making an obvious attempt not to make eye contact? Be conscious of the whole picture."

Any terrorist group that has been watching the news will say, 'These guys are going to get caught in hours. They've exposed themselves to CCTV. They may make more effort to disguise themselves next time."

In his own words, Will Geddes is

One of the world's leading specialists in counter terrorism, kidnap, direct action groups, personal security & close protection services

and he is a regular specialist commentator and analyst for CNN, BBC, ITN, Channel 4, Channel 5, LBC, The Economist, The Times Newspaper, The Daily Telegraph, NBC, ABC, International Herald Tribune, Newsweek, to name a few.
