Björn Bjarnason, Minister of Justice is hoping that Parliament (Alþingi) will commence talks about founding a secret service next term. If this would be done it would entail European specialists who would train 25-30 men; these men would then have the right to tap phones, deploy surveillance and information gathering to deter terrorist acts and organized crime. If this would be made into a bill and passed the National Security Section would be employed under the Justice Department through the Chief of Police. Björn Bjarnason also says that there is little military threat against this country, so efforts should be made to curb organized crime and guard the country against terrorist acts. -mld
