FBI offers to help China with security at next year's Olympic Games.
|
The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday offered to help China with security at next year's Olympic Games.
Hundreds of thousands of athletes, celebrities and state officials, as well as journalists and tourists, are expected to descend on the country next August for the Games.
"There are tremendous issues of security as to who is entering the country, what backgrounds they may have and whether they intend violence at the Olympic Games for any variety of reasons," Thomas Fuentes, the assistant director of the FBI's Office of International Operations, told reporters.
"This is a massive challenge for the authorities here in China to deal with. We're offering every possible assistance to them in terms of information sharing or other technical assistance."
Fuentes was speaking in Beijing where he was attending a regular dialogue with Chinese counterparts to coordinate on law enforcement issues ranging from cybercrime to human smuggling.
China has made much of relying on its own security forces for next year's Olympics and believes it can deliver a secure Games for a fraction of the $1.8 billion that Athens paid in 2004.
Liu Shaowu, head of the security department at the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG), said in April organizers had taken advice from the security chiefs of the last two Summer Games on how to keep the 2008 Olympics safe.

美國(guó)聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局于本周三表示愿為明年的北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)提供安全保障。
由于北京奧運(yùn)的召開，我國(guó)將于明年八月迎來(lái)數(shù)以十萬(wàn)計(jì)的運(yùn)動(dòng)員、社會(huì)名流、各國(guó)官員、記者及游客。
美國(guó)聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局國(guó)際業(yè)務(wù)處副處長(zhǎng)托馬斯·富恩斯特在接受記者采訪時(shí)說(shuō)：“這會(huì)帶來(lái)許許多多的安全問(wèn)題，比如來(lái)中國(guó)的都是些什么人、他們的背景如何、他們是否會(huì)在奧運(yùn)會(huì)期間因?yàn)楦鞣N原因制造暴力事件等?！?/font>
“這對(duì)中國(guó)的安全機(jī)關(guān)提出了巨大挑戰(zhàn)。我們?cè)敢鉃楸本W運(yùn)提供信息共享及其它技術(shù)方面一切有可能的支持。”
富恩斯特此次來(lái)京是參加中美執(zhí)法合作定期會(huì)議的，其主要議題包括網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪和販賣人口等。
中國(guó)特別強(qiáng)調(diào)要充分依靠自身的安全保障力量來(lái)為明年的奧運(yùn)會(huì)保駕護(hù)航。2004年雅典奧運(yùn)會(huì)在安全保障方面共花費(fèi)18億美元，而中國(guó)相信在明年奧運(yùn)的安全保障方面只需花雅典奧運(yùn)的一小部分。
北京奧組委安保部部長(zhǎng)劉紹武于今年四月說(shuō)，北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)主辦方已聽取了前兩屆夏季奧運(yùn)會(huì)安保負(fù)責(zé)人有關(guān)如何保障2008年北京奧運(yùn)會(huì)安全的建議。
