Swiss Army Says It’s Prepared for Worst-Case Scenario in Davos

Swiss security forces said they’re ready to handle any potential terrorist threat to global leaders attending the World Economic Forum in Davos this week.

“Since 9/11 we are always prepared for the worst case, so a terrorist attack'' is a scenario for which we have planned, said Major-General Jean-Marc Halter, who as the head of the armed forces joint staff is in charge of the army’s deployment in Davos. “The teamwork between the intelligence community is very good, so we have so far no evidence or no threat of a direct terrorist attack here in Switzerland.”
