The Korean government finalized its anti-terrorism bill at the weekly Cabinet meeting chaired by President Kim Dae-jung, calling for at least two-year jail terms for terrorists and those who instigate or connive in related activities.
The bill was presented to the National Assembly for approval.
The bill, which Seoul hopes will protect South Korea from possible terrorist attacks in the run-up to the World Cup football finals in 2002, contains a comprehensive anti-terror plan ranging from the introduction of a new anti-terror government body to the enforcement of harsher sentences for terrorists.
Ten years will be the minimum sentence for heads of terrorist organizations. Those who exploit biological terrorism will be given either a jail term exceeding five years, serve life in prison or receive the death sentence.
