Pompeii authorities are mulling
introducing armed guards, metal detectors and "even the army"
for terror threats, Archaeological Director Massimo Osanna told
an ANSA Forum Thursday.
He noted that this was already the case for other sensitive
and symbolic art sites in Italy including the Colosseum.
This was needed, he said, "to safeguard both the visitors and
the site".
"We have to get well organised also so as to avoid creating
queues and bottlenecks at the entry points, which would in
themselves represent a target for possible (terror) attacks".
