| South Korean relief workers helping victims of Asia's tsunami disaster may become targets of terror attacks, the government warned Thursday. South Korea sent a "request to related countries" to take security measures for the aid workers, said Lee Kyu-hyung, a spokesman of Seoul's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. "We have acquired intelligence that our relief groups in Indonesia and some other areas are becoming a possible target of terror attacks," he said in a statement. He did not elaborate, and it was not immediately clear whether South Koreans were more at risk than aid workers from other countries. Fears that South Koreans may be targeted by terrorists have increased in recent months because the country has 3,600 troops in northern Iraq's Kurdish town of Irbil. The deployment is the third largest contribution of troops to the coalition after the United States and Britain. |
