JAKARTA, May 13 (Xinhua) -- Chairman of Indonesia Asian Games Organizing Committee (Inasgoc) Erick Thohir said here on Sunday that they have created particular mechanisms, including to set up particular task force to anticipate terror attack, in the upcoming 18th Asian Games slated to be hosted by Indonesia's two cities of Jakarta and Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra province.
Erick's statement was to respond to the bombings in three Surabaya churches earlier in the day, which police said have claimed 11 lives and left 41 injured.
"In physical mechanism to ensure the security, we have coordinated it with police and the military by setting up special intelligence unit," he said, adding that the physical mechanism would be coupled with cyber protection mechanism to counter terror risk from cyber world.
Among the security procedures to minimize terror risk in Asiad, each bus carrying VIP guests, athletes and officials would be guarded by security apparatus.
"They would stay in the bus during the trip with particular coordinated mechanism applied along the way," he said.
To minimize terror risk, he added that spectators in Asiad matches would be tightly monitored. The venues to host the match must also get security accreditation from the related institutions.
"The accreditation would be issued by central and regional institutions. There would be no one in the venue without permits. There would be no one buying the tickets without providing their detailed information, including their address, phone numbers and other necessary data," he said.
Over 270,000 people comprised of supporters, athletes and officials are estimated to get involved in the second Asiad hosted by Indonesia scheduled from August 18 to September 2.
