World Leaders To Attend G8 Summit
POSTED: 4:56 PM EDT June 4, 2004
UPDATED: 5:16 PM EDT June 4, 2004

President George W. Bush will host the annual summit of the world's major industrial nations and Russia, the G8, in Sea Island, Ga., June 8-10.

G8 Summit

The White House said Bush hopes the meeting will endorse a U.S. proposed action plan to promote democratic reform in the Mideast and North African region.

It is called the Broader Mideast Initiative and is intended to support political, economic and social reform in the region.

The plan has been under discussion since February and is likely to be further modified at the G8 summit.

Bush has invited several Mideast leaders, including those from Jordan, Algeria, Bahrain and Afghanistan, to participate in the summit.

On June 9, the group will hold discussions with the G8 leaders.

Security will be extremely tight during the summit.

About 20,000 police and federal agents have been assigned to patrol the streets, beaches and waters off Sea Island.

"We are prepared for anything, and we will respond immediately," said Bucky Burnsed, a spokesman for the police department in Savannah, Ga., one of the cities where protesters are expected to gather.

Potentially tens of thousands of demonstrators are expected, and police have spent weeks drilling with riot gear.

The G8 summit ranks among a number of high-profile events federal officials have identified as prime targets that al-Qaida terrorists could attack this summer.
