7,000 Troops on Call for World Cup As many as 7,000 troops will be on call in case of emergency at the World Cup, the German defense minister said in remarks released Saturday. Officials have said troops could be called in to help deal with major incidents such as a terrorist attack during the June 9-July 9 event. "The army will keep up to 7,000 ready in case they are needed to protect our population and our guests," Franz Josef Jung said in an interview to appear in Sunday's Bild am Sonntag newspaper. Officials have said the army could provide assistance such as medical services and explosives teams. However, only police are to provide security at stadiums and team headquarters. --------------------------------------------------- Please help our fight against the New World Order by giving a donation.
