Title: Greece: Threat of Terrorism and Security at the Olympics
Authors: Carol Migdalovitz, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: The Greek government is planning unprecedented security measures to deal with possible terrorist threats. Athens believes that it has effectively dismantled major domestic terrorist groups in recent years and is preparing mainly for external threats, although anarchists and anti-globalization groups may be disruptive as well. Greece has requested assistance from NATO and others, including the United States. The U.S. Administration is taking its own steps to protect the U.S. Olympic team.
