FIFA does not want to take chances and the meeting will be held so
that we try and take a very critical look at the various security
issues that are already in place, said a South Africa 2010 official
Wednesday.
It is not about us having not done enough, but there are always new
ways of improving things and that is what we are looking at. We want to
make the tournament very water-tight.
The Pakistan attacks left at least eight people dead, while seven
players were wounded, and FIFA has stressed the need for security at
the Soccer World Cup, to be hosted by South Africa next year, to its
maximum level.
South Africa 2010 will be the first first-ever edition of the world's
most prestigious soccer tournament to be played on African soil.
The 2010 World Cup is expected to attract over 1-million people from
across the globe and FIFA fears that it might be a prime target for
terrorists seeking to attack some high-profile figures, especially
politicians, who will be among the various classes of people visiting
South Africa.
