Cameras and bomb sniffer dogs in Rome (3)

(ANSA) - Rome, April 13 - Bomb squads complete with sniffer dogs will be deployed to clear all the areas where Easter events will take place in Rome, city police chief Guido Marino said Thursday. All the areas will be fitted with new CCTV cameras, he said. Authorities have beefed up security in Rome and other Italian cities for Easter after recent international terror attacks. The Vatican is an especially sensitive site but monuments like the Colosseum, where Pope Francis will say the Stations of the Cross on Friday, are also considered at risk.
    The Colosseum is to close to visitors at 13:00 for security reasons ahead of the papal event, sources said Thursday.
