"APEC Approves Plan to Test Airport Vulnerability to Missiles Attacks"
JIM GOMEZ
Associated Press Writer

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Officials from 21 Asia Pacific economies on Sunday endorsed a U.S. proposal to test whether major airports in their countries could repel a terrorist attack using shoulder-fired missiles, officials said.

The plan was approved only after officials overcame initial objections from China and several other countries that expressed fears tourism and other business could be harmed if their airports were found to be vulnerable, delegates involved on the discussions told The Associated Press.

The airport testing plan was among a range of counterterrorism initiatives considered by senior officials of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, who are meeting to hammer out agenda details for their leaders' annual summit on Friday and Saturday."
