The Awacs (airborne warning and control system) aircraft with a rotating radar dish on its back will provide early warning of any threat from the air during the weekend meeting. A pair of F18 fighter-bombers will be on patrol, surface-to-air missiles are deployed around the airport and naval vessels will guard the shoreline. In the city 8,500 police will enforce a security cordon around the conference centre where the 28 leaders and 5,000 advisers will meet. Spain has suspended its membership of the Schengen agreement, which ensures free passage across borders. Security checks at key crossing points from France have caused tailbacks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
