2,000 Body Bags Shipped to G-8 Summit
Emergency workers prepared for attacks

Leaders of G-8 industrial nations, including President Bush, open their annual summit today amid tight security that has included the installation of Patriot missile batteries, intensive training of local emergency workers in dealing with biological and chemical weapons and explosives and the shipping of 2,000 body bags to the Georgia island just in case.

A fire chief told the London Independent the body bags were delivered to the Chamber of Commerce.

The heightened security at the high-level meeting of western leaders, hosted by Bush, comes days after al-Qaida announced impending attacks on "significant events in the U.S."

Air traffic, with the exception of government planes and helicopters and three daily commercial flights from Atlanta, has been suspended for the duration of the summit.

Patriot missiles have been positioned on the beach to shoot down missiles or unauthorized flights, according to the fire chief. High-speed gunboats are patrolling the waters around the island

Firefighters are being issued a biological antidote for their own personal use, according to the report.

But the fire chief believes the biggest threat to public safety will come from the anti-G-8 protesters facing off with beefed-up police forces.

The governor has announced a state of emergency and a field on the mainland has reportedly been fenced off and set aside as a deterntion center should massive arrests take place.

The Group of Eight club was bitterly divided on the Iraq war with the U.S., Britain, Japan and Italy backing military action and Germany, France, Russia and Canada opposed.

President Bush reportedly hopes the U.N. Security Council will approve a new resolution on the transition of power to the Iraqi governing council before the start of today's meeting at a luxury resort on the sub-tropical Atlantic island.

In a push to mend fences, Bush meets alone today with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and Russian President Vladmir Putin. He will have talks tomorrow with French President Jacques Chirac.

G-8 leaders are expected to endorse a now declaration prepared by U.S. officials on Middle East reform.

Tomorrow, the G-8 will meet leaders from Turkey, Jordan, Bahrain, Tunisia, Yemen, Afghanistan and the Iraqi transitional government.

George W. Bush tells Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi to stop kicking him "or else!" at the 2003 Group of Eight summit in France. Blair was the one who actually did it.

New Iraqi President Sheik Ghazial-Yawer is expected to be given a high-profile welcome at the G-8 in a U.S. effort to underline the symbolism of Iraq's sovereignty.

The summit emphasis shifts Thursday to Africa, with HIV/AIDS and development topping the agenda. Leaders from Ghana, Senegal, South Africa and Nigeria were due to meet their G-8 counterparts.

More than 20,000 police and soldiers are providing security at the summit and a media center to the north in historic Savannah.

Most anti-globalist protesters were being kept far from the actual summit with demonstrations planned in the coastal cities of Brunswick as well as Savannah.
