As Giorgos Voulgarakis takes over as public order minister from his Socialist predecessor today, a huge Greek-US military exercise aiming to address potential terrorism threats to the August Olympics is to kick off at an undisclosed location in Greece.

A Public Order Ministry statement yesterday said the secrecy-shrouded drill will be code-named “Shield of Heracles 2004” — alluding to an obscure ancient Greek poem — and would take place over the next two weeks “in various parts of Greece.”
