Italian police will set up 20
barriers with metal detectors around sensitive sites in Rome for
the New Year, police said Friday. Most of the barriers will be
placed around the Circus Maximus and along the Lungotevere river
frontage where the main New Year's Eve events will take place,
they said. A special police task force will be set up on the
afternoon of December 31, chaired by police chief Guido Marino.
