Algerian government ordered to reinforce security measures in airports and ports, national police chief said Monday.

Colonel Ali Tounsi paid an inspection visit to the Port of Algiers and the International Airport of Houari Boumediene.

“This visit comes as part of checking up security and preventive measures adopted by border guards in the port and airport,” he told reporters.

“I am satisfied about the level of the police and Air Algerie’s staff. We are working on reinforcing security progressively to reach the international standards,” he added.

He believes those measures are efficient. “I am sure they can foil criminal plans.”

The government is carrying out a program meant to set up 350 cameras and mobilise more than 1,250 policemen to foil any potential suicide attack in the airport of Algiers.
