World Bank may tighten security under Wolfowitz
------------------------
By Lesley Wroughton

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The appointment of Paul Wolfowitz to head the World Bank has prompted new concernsabout possible terrorist attacks on the institution, which has ordered a review of its security procedures, bank officialssay.

Wolfowitz, approved on Thursday as the bank's new president, was the main U.S. architect of the invasion of Iraq asdeputy U.S. defence secretary and a leading hawk in the administration of President George W. Bush, which is committedto a global war on terrorism.

"Directors raised with him their concerns of the possibility of an increased security risk he would bring to the bank," onesenior board official, who did not want to be identified, told Reuters. "He said he'd look into it."

The board official said the unease was that bank staff and operations, many in far-flung locations, could becomepossible targets because of Wolfowitz's role in the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

1. The World Bank itself is a terrorist attack against humanity...
along with the IMF.
They are not legitimated in any way. They have murdered millions of people, destroyed economies, did destroy social security, jobs and health care for millions and millions of people in countless countries. None of their victims did vote for them or ever had a choice or a vote at all. And now there's this fashist war-criminal Wolfowitz as their Führer.

They might fear the resurrection of the Geschwister Scholl.
I welcome every possible democratic threat against this scum of the earth.
Hello from Germany,
Dirk

2. The world bank is a neocon one world org controlled by W
for corporate globalists. Now let's all remember Wolfie licking his comb to calm his hair down. He's head of the world bank? He should have been sent back to health class in Junior high.
