Gov't beefs up railway security amid North Korean threats

The government said Thursday it will install a thermographic camera on South Korea's main railway bridge, a move to counter possible terror attacks by North Korea on its key transportation infrastructure.
The North has attempted to hack into email accounts of the South's railroad workers, according to the National Intelligence Service.
The government believes the Hangang (Han River) Railway Bridge, which crosses the river in Seoul, is among the potential targets of a North Korea terror attack, along with the railway traffic control system.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport held an emergency meeting with Korea Railroad Corp., railway police and other relevant authorities earlier this week to review preventive measures.
The ministry decided to install a thermal imaging camera on the oldest Han River bridge, adding to the existing CCTVs.
Infrared detectors and an unmanned security system will be also established at train depots.
It will also tighten security at the railway traffic control center through various measures including the installment of X-ray scanners at its gates.
The number of railway police aboard KTX high-speed trains will be doubled to 40, said the ministry. (Yonhap)
