Security threats

A senior public security official has named what Beijing perceives as the three top security threats to the Olympic Games and vowed to use all available resources to ensure that hostile forces do not disturb the event. On the sidelines of a Shanghai Co-operation Organisation (SCO) anti-terrorism meeting in Beijing, Meng Hongwei, deputy minister of public security, said the three threats were international terrorist groups, the East Turkestan Islamic Movement and mainland criminals (SCMP).
