Frantisek Bublan says reaction to terrorist threat slow

Speaking on the Sunday TV program Otazky Vaclava Moravce, the head of the committee on security in the lower house, Frantisek Bublan, said that the issue of a terrorist threat in Prague will be on the table for discussion at Monday's meeting of the security committee. Mr. Bublan said that he feels initial intelligence information of recent weeks wasn't taken very seriously by the Czech authorities, and that the situation only escalated given developments in Norway on Friday. Mr. Bublan added that the possible terrorist threat is a signal that the Czech Republic belongs to the European family of states, and that it must face the accompanying circumstances head-on.
