ASUNCIÓN, Paraguay, March 4 (UPI) -- Authorities in Paraguay and Argentina have reinforced intelligence, security and financial monitoring mechanisms in the Triple Frontier area they share with Brazil amid escalating conflict in the Middle East.
Paraguay's Deputy Minister of Internal Security, Óscar Pereira, said the government has activated preventive measures focused on monitoring assets and terrorist activities.
"We are working on controlling illicit financing and preventing the infiltration of extremist groups," Pereira said.
He said the actions include information sharing and intelligence analysis coordinated with national and international agencies.
