"Exposed: US embassy is top terror risk"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "THE Government has appointed extra Garda Special Branch officers to protect the US and Israeli embassies in Dublin following warnings that they are among the most vulnerable to terrorist attacks in Europe.

The US embassy, which installed a blast wall and a reinforced steel and concrete entrance after the September 11 attacks, was assessed as the most vulnerable US embassy last year after threats were issued by Al-Qaeda to attack "smaller, softer targets."

The risk assessment of attack in Dublin was carried out by army specialists before Ireland's EU presidency. The security of US embassies across Europe was also looked at."
