South Korean Prime Minister pledges to bolster security following Daesh threat

South Korean Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn said Monday that the government will beef up its security measures to tackle any potential terrorist threats, especially amid concerns that the ISIS may be targeting South Korean citizens and US military bases on its soil. 
The National Intelligence Service said that ISIS has been calling for terrorist attacks through telegrams and messaging services by revealing the locations of 77 Air Force installations belonging to the United States and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 21 countries, and also important individuals associated with them. 
The list included US military bases in South Korea, as well as a local civil servant. 
The ISIS has been citing South Korea as a potential target for its attacks since last September, Hwang said, adding that Seoul will come up with measures to prevent terrorist attacks from occurring, state news agency (Yonhap) reported.
The premier added that its counterterrorism center will also beef up its investigations and take every possible step to safeguard the general public.
