Melbourne, Feb 19 (PTI) Australia Foreign Minister Stephen Smith has expressed satisfaction with the security measures for foreign athletes during this year''s sporting events in India in the wake of the recent terror threat by a millitant group. Smith, who met Indian authorities last year to review Commonwealth Games'' security arrangements, also said that not a single sporting event anywhere in the world was free from security scare in the current scenario. "I was satisfied then and I''m satisfied now that all of the necessary co-ordination and consultation continues to occur and, of course, we are deeply interested in those arrangements," Smith was quoted as saying by the Australian Associated Press, a news agency here. "It is a very regrettable fact of the modern era that there are always the risk of security risks in major sporting events, whether they''re conducted in Australia, the Sydney Olympics or the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, or whether they''re conducted in India," he said. .
