Chief Executive John Lee chaired the first meeting of the Chief Executive’s Counter-Terrorism Steering Group and instructed relevant bureaux and departments to conduct a large-scale inter-departmental counter-terrorism exercise later this month. The exercise will simulate a terrorist attack on Hong Kong’s critical infrastructure. Discussions also included the progress of various units under the “three-tiered prevention mechanism,” the global and local terrorist threat landscape, and the direction of the government’s counter-terrorism work.
