CIS law enforces, secret services to hold anti-terrorist drills in
OSH, Kyrgyzstan, May 3 (Itar-Tass) -- Law enforcement agencies and
secret services of CIS countries will hold here large-scale exercises to
drill skills of preventing terrorist acts at vital energy infrastructure
facilities, a spokesman for the CIS anti-terrorism centre told Itar-Tass
on Tuesday.
The drills will involve forces from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia,
and Tajikistan, and observers from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkmenistan,
Ukraine, Uzbekistan, the office for coordination the fight against
organized crime, the secretariat of the Collective Security Treaty
Organization (CSTO), and from the executive committee of the regional
anti-terrorism organization of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO).
"The key goal of the drills is to train coordinated search measures to
prevent terrorist acts at vital facilities, including hydro power
generation plants," the spokesman said.
"Apart from it, specific attention will be paid to the protection of
external borders of the CIS countries not to let gangs, groups of
militants from international terrorist organizations get to the CIS from
neighboring Afghanistan," the spokesman added.
"Of key importance in this respect are not force methods but
preventive actions, including coordinated search activities, information
exchange, detention of the wanted while such persons cross external and
internal borders of the CIS countries," the spokesman noted.
Under the drills' scenario, a hypothetical terrorist organization is
plotting a large-scale terrorist act that might be fraught with an
ecological disaster of a regional scale, like in the Fergana Valley. As a
cover, the terrorists plan to stage a series of acts of terror and seize
administrative buildings in the city of Osh to distract attention of law
enforcers.
"Thus, it is planned to drill cooperation schemes aimed at preventing
terrorist acts," the spokesman stressed.
"The idea to conduct such anti-terrorist exercises in Central Asia
emerged back in November 2010 after the Bryansk-Metel-2010 drills," the
spokesman said. "It was then that officers from CIS secret services
exchanged experience and worked out mechanisms of coordinated preventive
measures."
