The government on Monday compiled an action plan to address terrorism involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive, or CBRNE, materials.<\/p>\n
Under the plan, the government will establish an expert panel to improve initial responses to CBRNE attacks, strengthen intelligence functions, improve medical care systems and secure medical supplies.<\/p>\n
At a related meeting at the Prime Minister\u2019s Office in Tokyo, Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said, \u201cWe can\u2019t rule out the possibility that our country will be a target of terrorism in the future.\u201d He ordered the prompt implementation of the action plan to \u201cprotect the people from disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n
The panel will include doctors, academic experts, former Self-Defense Forces and police officers who were previously in charge of antiterrorism measures. It will advise the government\u2019s antiterrorism headquarters, which will be established in the event of a terrorist attack and headed by the prime minister.<\/p>\n
A panel of related ministries and agencies will also be set up to collect and analyze information, including on drones and artificial intelligence that could be used for terrorism.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the government will develop a system to stockpile medical supplies to treat victims and distribute them promptly in the event of a terror attack. The government will also expand training for medical institutions that are expected to accept injured and sick people.<\/p>\n
The action plan also calls for strengthening cooperation with other countries to prevent the proliferation of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, particularly with North Korea in mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The government on Monday compiled an action plan to address terrorism involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":79707,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[1695,9,8,997,33,1922,2909,28596],"class_list":["post-79706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-japan","tag-ai","tag-drones","tag-japan","tag-minoru-kihara","tag-nihon","tag-north-korea","tag-nuclear-weapons","tag-terrorism"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79706\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
