More anti-terrorism measures needed

The country's top police officer has asked for tightened anti-terrorism measures in the wake of the attacks in Mumbai, while Chinese and Indian troops continued their anti-terror drill on Friday.

Speaking to a national coordination team on anti-terrorism on Thursday, Public Security Minister Meng Jianzhu pointed to the need to keep a high alert on potential threats, particularly from the Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) in the country's northwestern region.

The ETIM was identified by the United Nations as a terrorist organization in 2002.
