Poland could be a terrorist target, security issues need clarification
Information from the Polish Intelligence Agency (AW) states that Poland may
be the target of a terrorist attack as it has been a very loyal partner in
the anti-terrorist coalition. AW director Agency Zbigniew Siemiatkowski said
that Poland is located on the periphery of a possible of attack from Islamic
terrorists. "Upon a request from our allies we have started to closely
monitor traffic moving from the East to North America," revealed
Siemiatkowski. After September 11, Polish Airlines LOT changed its on-board
security procedures. "The doors to pilot's cabin are now secure, and the
crew is able to take full control over the passenger area," said LOT
president Jan Litwinski. Bronislaw Komorowski, a former Defense Minister,
claims that procedures over opening fire under the amended aviation law are
still hazy which may cause even the most experienced commanders to pause too
long. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A9) P.W.
