(VOVworld)- Immediately following Friday’s horrendous jihadist attacks, many countries have strengthened their security. The Italian government decreed a level-two terrorist alert for the whole country, considerably increasing security measures around Rome, the Vatican and other major cities. Italy has maintained maximum security to protect the Vatican and Pope Francis against IS threats. Security has also been strengthened in Germany and the border areas between Germany and France. In the UK, the British government decided to increase budget allocation for fighting terrorism and ensuring aviation safety over the next five years.
