Tightened security will be adopted for the Olympic Torch relay in Hong Kong after an abortive attempt to disrupt the Games on the mainland recently.
Details will be announced in the middle of next month, according to a security official, who said extra police would be one measure.
This month, mainland authorities thwarted an attempt to down an internal passenger flight en route to Beijing. A China Southern plane that left Xinjiang made an emergency landing in Gansu .
The Olympic flame will be carried through 19 cities on five continents before reaching Hong Kong - the first stop on Chinese soil.
A relay will take place on May 2 involving 120 torchbearers and lasting for eight hours. The launch ceremony and starting point will be at the piazza of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui.
The Olympic torch will pass a number of landmarks and scenic spots, including the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower, Tsing Ma Bridge, Victoria Harbour, and the Legislative Council Building.
