Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said Tuesday that Rome will not be turned into a "military zone" in order to maintain security during the upcoming Jubilee of Mercy. "The use of the police will be reinforced, taking into account all of the possible variables," Alfano said after the meeting of a security committee. "But Rome won't look like a military city". He added that the Jubilee security plan features the hiring of 2,500 more police officers.
He also explained that the plan will involve other Italian cities, not just Rome.
