Nations train for possible canal attack aboard USS Crommelin
Eight nations completed a weeklong anti-terror drill aimed at safeguarding the Panama Canal. An exclusive AP photo aboard the USS Crommelin showed boarding and searches for weapons, with Panamanian, U.S., and Colombian crews tackling suspicious ships. Authorities noted no direct threat but warned the canal remains a prime terrorist target. Panama has expanded security, allowing U.S. boardings of flagships for weapons searches, while the canal’s registry accounts for about 21 percent of world-flagged ships including 5,700 cargo vessels.
