South Korea and Japan have conducted an anti-terror drill in preparation for the World Cup. Ten maritime police boats and four helicopters from the two countries participated in the drill, held off Busan port Wednesday. Patrol boats surrounded a ferry, and commandoes slid down ropes from a helicopter to overpower the "practice" terrorists. In another drill, police were dispatched to break up a brawl by rowdy fans watching a World Cup match on television. South Korea will each play host to 32 matches during the May 31st-to-June 30th tournament. Each nation has 10 venues.
