PHUKET: More than 50 high-ranking police officers from eight Southeast Asian nations met in Patong this morning to discuss strategies to counter chemical and explosive terrorist attacks.

The three-day meeting on counter-terrorism tactics will be led by Interpol’s Chemical and Explosives (ChemEx) Prevention Unit Coordinator Ian Rotsey, and will conclude on Friday.
