The Czech Republic will see an additional increase in security measures
following terrorist attacks in Egypt at the weekend. Speaking at a
press conference on Monday the Interior Minister Frantisek Bublan said
measures would include an increase in so-called sniffer dogs used to
root out bombs, as well as a greater reliance on security cameras in
public areas. Intelligence services will be more active, controls over
the transport of explosives will be heightened, and for example, more
Czech flights will make use of on-board police guards. Although,
according to the prime minister, the Czech Republic is not under
immediate threat, experts, as well as the prime minister, have said a
terrorist attack was impossible to rule out.
