The statements came after ABC news cited US intelligence sources as saying that they had received signals about a possible threat to Glasgow Airport a fortnight ago and that Prague's Ruzyne Airport was also a likely target. Interior Minister Ivan Langer moved to allay fears saying the country's intelligence services were cooperating closely with foreign intelligence services and had no information suggesting the country might be at heightened risk. Security measures at Ruzyne Airport remain unchanged.

If agreement is reached on siting a US tracking radar on Czech territory the radar could also be positioned near the village of Misov, some 25 km south-east of Plzen in western Bohemia.
