Anti-terror precautions<\/p>\n
Last weekend's multiple suicide bomb attacks in the resort
\nisland of Bali proved Indonesia to be the most terror-prone
\nnation in Asia, but any other country in the region can be the
\nnext target.<\/p>\n
International cooperation is vital in antiterror efforts but
\nwe have witnessed no such conspicuous activities by the
\ngovernments of the region, which is now seeing rapidly growing
\nmovements of people for tourism and employment. The upcoming 2005
\nAPEC summit in Busan on Nov. 18-19 and ministerial sessions
\npreceding it should focus on working out practical steps to deter
\nterrorist infiltration although the annual meeting is basically
\nan economic forum.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan was briefed in Busan last week on
\ndetailed security steps by police who will be helped by military
\npersonnel before and during the summit in the sprawling port
\ncity. Many kinds of high-tech systems and gadgets will be used to
\nprotect visiting VIPs, but more important is the strong
\ndetermination of all security personnel to fulfill their mission
\nin awareness that a terror attack is a real and present danger in
\nBusan, just as in Bali and New York.
