Speaking at a top-level meeting in Hyderabad on Saturday, President Kalam voiced concern regarding 'sensitive areas clearly marked on Google Earth'. He asserted that terrorists and other subversive elements would use these images for their nefarious activities.

Reflecting concerns expressed by countries like South Korea, Thailand and Netherlands, Kalam expressed regret that some developing countries, already under the specter of terrorist attacks, have been chosen to provide high resolutions.
