Secret Service's next challenge: Keeping scores of world leaders

safe at the U.N. General Assembly

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Be-
low United Nations head-
quarters, a state-of-the-art
security post dubbed the
“Brain Center” hums with
activity on the eve of next
week’s high-level meeting
of the U.N. General Assem-
bly. The annual diplomatic
pilgrimage is bringing more
than 140 world leaders to
New York City, including the
leaders of Israel, the Palestin-
ians and Ukraine.
Keeping them safe is the
U.S. Secret Service’s next
big challenge. The agency,
under a cloud after a July
assassination attempt on
former President Donald
Trump, is confident in its mul-
ti-layer, multi-agency plan
to protect the U.N. General
Assembly, which is deemed
a Super Bowl-level National
Special Security Event. Security Inspector Malinda Mccormack speaks on the phone during a tour of the UN Security Operations Center inside the United
Nations Headquarters, Friday Sept. 20, 2024.
