THE tight security at the Beijing Olympics the largest seen at a
sporting event was stepped up today after Islamist terrorists
released a video warning of attacks on the Games.
The video, which appeared on a BBC Chinese website, showed a
masked terrorist with assault rifle in front of a burning Olympic
symbol urging Muslims: "Do not stay on the same bus, on the same
train, on the same plane, in the same buildings, or any place as the
Chinese." Uniformed officers and sniffer dogs surrounded the arena
for final safety checks and the Army set up missile launchers in
secret locations to fend off possible attacks from the air. About
300,000 surveillance cameras have been installed in the city.
