...during the Pope's 25-hour visit. The greatest tension centers around Snipers Alley, a long stretch of road known for its wartime shootouts that the Pope will travel on his way from the airport Saturday afternoon. While Bosnian authorities will take responsibility for the Pope's daily security, NATO-led peacekeeping forces have dispatched anti-sniper teams and explosive-sniffer dogs to the city and set up a joint emergency center with police.
