On a visit to Ingushetia the day after the fierce assaults by militants that left at least 57 people dead in a southern Russian republic, Putin said a regiment of Interior Ministry forces would be stationed permanently there, raising the Kremlin's troop commitment to its troubled Caucasus region even as it tries to distance itself from the war in Chechnya, west of Ingushetia.

The attack occurred as the convoy carrying Karzai and Kandahar Gov. Gul Agha Sherzai was leaving the governor's mansion. Sherzai, who was grazed in the neck, was released after being treated at the U.S. air base in Kandahar. Karzai survived unhurt. (AP Photo/Ed Wray)

As noted in the Obama- and Hillary-Protect series, their Secret Service candidate-protective agents hold their hands at waist height, particularly in crowds, but also when standing guard. Presumably this allows quick action against hands of attackers or to draw weapons.

At a large rally at the University of Denver, Mr. Obama was surrounded by a security detail ready to react to a threat from the crowd as he shook hands.

This agent was watching the exit and keeping an escape route clear as he waited for Mr. Obama to finish at a rally in St. Louis.

Mr. Obama, trailed by his security detail, took the stage in an overflow room before the rally at the University of Denver.

A Secret Service agent watched Mr. Obama's back -- literally.

The Counter Assault Team (CAT) typically operates in heavily-armed, five-man teams that augment an existing protective detail. In the event of an assault, their purpose is to engage the attacker(s) while the protective detail evacuates their principal to safety. Out of the generally 35 vehicles in the Presidential motorcade, anywhere from 2 - 6 vehicles may contain CAT members, depending on the threat level that day. The purpose of a CAT is not to win a firefight, but to completely overwhelm the enemy right up until the point where the protectee has escaped. After that, a local SWAT team (also travelling with the motorcade) will take over.
