Malaysia tightens security for OIC meetings
Thousands of police will guard finance ministers and business leaders from the Islamic world who are gathering in Malaysia for a range of meetings this week, officials said yesterday.
A 2,800-strong police team will provide round-the-clock security for delegates to the annual meeting of governors of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB), Kuala Lumpur police chief Mustafa Abdullah told Bernama news agency.
"Ours is a double focus, to take care of delegates' safety and ensure Arab tourists coming to Malaysia are safe. We do not want any untoward incidents," he was quoted as saying.
