A member of the Gurkha contingent, elite Nepalese fighters who gained fame in the British armed forces, stands guard at the international Sea Cruise Center and ferry terminal, Thursday Oct. 13, 2005 in Singapore. Sea entry points into Singapore are now being guarded by Gurkhas as part of security measures following the recent Bali bombings. Singapore, a United States ally, fears it is on the list of targets of attack by regional and international terrorist groups. Experts have warned that ships could be hijacked or turned into floating weapons by terrorists.
