The Czech Republic has received no intelligence indicating that Prague might be a target for terrorist attacks, Czech Interior Minister Ivan Langer said Monday in response to an ABC report.
According to a report by the American broadcaster, law enforcement officials from the United States had received intelligence reports warning of terror attacks in Prague and Glasgow, Scotland, targeting airports and aircraft.
The Czech intelligence agency, which has shared almost every piece of information with its counterparts in Britain and other countries, has not received such terror threats, said Langer.
The Czech Republic will not tighten security at present after the recent terrorist incidents in London, a senior police official Pavel Hantak told CTK Monday.
"We have no information about any security risk in the Czech Republic," Hantak said.
But he said that security measures have been stepped up since the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001.
On Friday, police in London found two cars packed with explosives. The next day, a blazing Jeep Cherokee was rammed at speed into the front of the main terminal building at Glasgow Airport.
Britain has raised its national security alert level to "critical," the highest possible level.
