US Ambassador warns of terrorism Wednesday, 08 November 2006 BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC - Newly appointed United States Ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, Mary Ourisman warned Wednesday that Cricket World Cup 2007 could bring to the Caribbean region persons who may try to disrupt the game and cause destruction and harm. Speaking at a graduation ceremony for Caribbean participants at a United States-sponsored Anti-Terrorism Assistance Programme, the diplomat warned that terrorist activities were not a matter for the United States alone. "Terrorism is not just a concern for the United States, it is a concern for us all," said Ourisman, who replaced Ambassador Mary Kramer who returned to the Untied States in late October. "We must work together to ensure that we provide our citizens with the safest means of travel, working together to protect our nations." Twenty-three Customs and Law Enforcement officials from Barbados, St. Kitts-Nevis, Antigua, St. Lucia, Grenada and Dominica graduated from the training course which focused on airport security management. "Since September 11, 2001, there have been dramatic changes in Airport Security," Ambassador Ourisman told the graduates. "In the Caribbean, the airline industry is the primary means of transportation. It is you and your respective government who bear the responsibility to ensure that safety is paramount for all travelers to and from your islands. "When we all come together as one, and function as a single security body, we increase not only the security posture of one airport; we strengthen the security of the Caribbean as a whole." The one week course presented key elements for a standard of civil aviation security at international airports that complies with international airport standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organisation. The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security has provided seven security courses and specialized equipment valued at over US$100,000 to assist the Caribbean prepare for CWC 2007. Other bureaus of the Department of State and other Departments of the United States government have also been providing training, equipment and planning assistance to the CWC 2007 countries over the past two years.
