All personnel and their vehicles entering SFOR bases would be searched, SFOR said in a statement. "We are following the events in the U.S. with deep concern. We take security seriously every day and remain vigilant and take actions that we think are appropriate," SFOR's statement read. However, the essential operational activity to maintain a safe and secure environment in Bosnia continues, it added. Some 20,000 troops, including more than 3,500 American soldiers, serve with the NATO peacekeeping mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Sarajevo Canton Police put its force on alert in the part of the capital where most foreign embassies and international missions are located. Increased security measures were also in force at all airports. The U.S. embassy in Sarajevo was closed for security reasons soon after the attacks and will remain shut until Friday.
