US administration to test preparedness for bomb attacks (AFP) 24 February 2007 WASHINGTON - US officials will conduct an exercise Saturday to test their readiness to respond in the event that various bomb attacks are carried out across the country, said Scott Stanzel, a White House spokesman. High-level officials in the administration and other key government posts will take part in the hours-long “tabletop” exercise described as “part of the administration’s efforts to test the policies, plans and procedures to protect the American people,” Stanzel said. He stressed that the exercise “is not based on any current or real threat, but it’s an exercise on hypothetical IED (improvised explosive device) attacks.” The officials will “go through scenarios, so there is a fictional scenario, and the officials (will) talk about how they would react in the event of this fictional attack, and ... what plans and procedures they would put in place,” the spokesman said. President George W. Bush will not participate in the exercise, he said. +++ ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Great things are happening at Yahoo! Groups.
