Summit leaders to combat cyber-terrorism
World leaders will agree to take measures against a
new high-tech element of terrorism--attacks on host
computers--at the June 20-22 Denver summit, officials
involved in the preparations said Friday.
As part of countermeasures against cyber-terrorism,
further joint efforts to control the spread of computer
encryption technologies will be reaffirmed, they said.
Concerns over terrorist attacks on computers and the
need for heightened international efforts will be added
to the 25 specific counterterrorism recommendations that
Japan, the United States, Britain, Germany, Canada,
Italy, France and Russia adopted at a ministerial meeting
in Paris last July.
