In 2005, citing intelligence failures that led to the &lt;a href="September%2011%20attacks"&gt;9/11 terror attacks&lt;/a&gt;, the NYPD selected del Pozo to create and staff its first intelligence liaison post with the Arab world, based out of Amman, Jordan. Embedded with the Jordanian National Police, he responded to suicide bombings at Jordanian hotels planned and executed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and an attack on a Roman amphitheater. He also responded to two attacks in Mumbai, India: a 2006 bombing of seven trains on the city's commuter rail, and the 2008 Lashkar-e-Taiba-led attack on downtown Mumbai itself, where a team of gunmen attacked hotels, transportation hubs, tourist areas and a Jewish cultural center. Del Pozo reported his analyses back to the NYPD and other agencies, assessing how these attacks could be replicated by exploiting security vulnerabilities in New York City, and what measures could be taken to prevent them. His role was unique in that there was no other US intelligence officer conducting work on behalf of a municipal police department in either region.
