| 2015-01-25 |
| [Ynet] As a terrorism trial gets underway for a lone defendant in twin bombings of US embassies in Africa nearly two decades ago, fears over the terror attacks in Gay Paree and unrest a world away have raised security at the city's federal courthouses to levels not seen since the days following the Sept. 11 attacks. That includes assault rifle-toting federal guards at every entrance, Homeland Security vans surrounding the courthouses, and searches, metal detectors and sign-ins required for all trial visitors. And in the long-term, a $10 million security pavilion is being constructed that will permit screening of visitors in August before they enter a 26-story courthouse. |
