Chinese forces foiled mock riots and rappelled from buildings to free hostages in Olympic security drills on Tuesday designed to display the country's readiness for anything at the Beijing Games.

The show of force comes days after the head of Interpol warned there was a "real possibility" that the Games would be targeted by terrorists, and as the Olympic torch is dogged by anti-Chinese protests as it makes its way around the world.

"The Beijing city commission will firmly carry out the Olympic directives given by President Hu Jintao...," Vice Minister of Public Security Liu Jing told the ceremony. "We will impose high standards and strict requirements on ourselves and do the job with first-class standards."

China's top security official, Zhou Yongkang, and Minister of Public Security Meng Jianzhu also attended the event, presiding over an "oath-taking" rally that included not only police, army and paramilitaries, but also anti-chemical squads and SWAT teams.

HOOLIGAN ALERT

Special forces clad in black kicked and punched their way through choreographed martial arts routines, and police staged a car chase, tyres screeching as they wheeled around to entrap a stolen car, whose driver was yanked to the ground and handcuffed.

In another scene, complete with sets of a sports ground and a city street of bars and restaurants, soccer hooligans surrounded a team bus, prompting riot police to emerge to take control.

"Attention please! The game is over. Please be calm and abide by instructions. Leave the scene as soon as possible," an officer yelled at the crowd through loudspeakers, in English and Chinese.

"Your behaviour has already violated the laws of the People's Republic of China and disturbed the public order. You must follow police instructions. Leave the scene immediately!"

The prospect of such an event is all too real -- during a 2004 Asian Cup match in China, Chinese fans rushed the bus of the Japanese side, forcing it to leave without two players.

In Tuesday's scenario, the fans confronted each other outside a bar, throwing chairs and setting a car on fire, before riot squads fired tear gas and water cannons to restore order.

But the climax of the show was the anti-terror drills.

In one, security forces dressed up as a road maintenance crew and hid in rubbish bins, popping up in time to intercept a hijacked bus.

In another, men in black descended from helicopters and rappelled down buildings in a display worthy of a Hong Kong action film, to free tourists taken hostage by a group demanding China release from prison followers of their unspecified cause.

China has accused Muslim, ethnic Uighur militants in its Central Asian border region of Xinjiang of plotting attacks with the aim of establishing an independent state of East Turkestan, and says it has foiled plots to kidnap athletes.

Although the country has faced no serious terror threat in past, the U.S. government last week issued a travel alert for China, saying any large-scale public event such as the Olympics could be a terror target.

The secretary general of Interpol, Ronald Noble, also warned that protests around the world over the status of Tibet introduced "significant additional complications" to security arrangements for the Olympics.
