The government passed a series of anti-terrorism plans for this year Thursday, with a primary focus on establishing a system to prepare for drone terrorism targeting major state facilities. "Let us bear in mind that the foremost duty of the nation lies in protecting the people and ensuring public safety, and strengthen our capabilities to respond swiftly in any situation and maintain preparedness," Prime Minister Han Duck-soo during a meeting with relevant officials. The plans included preparing for new kinds of terrorism by enhancing the safety management of prevention centers, establishing an information-sharing system and expanding infrastructure. Citing upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections worldwide scheduled for this year, Han highlighted the instability of political situations in regions like the Middle East. "We also have detected terror threat cases domestically, such as sending funds to major terrorist groups and threatening major figures," Han said. Han said the government has been analyzing potential terrorism patterns domestically and conducting joint training exercises with relevant agencies. Source: Yonhap News Agency
