60,000 shop and hotel workers training to fight UK terrorism
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith says 60,000 workers are being trained to fight terror attacks
The home secretary said shop and hotel workers would be among the 60,000 people trained to deal with an incident.
A new UK counter-terrorism document there will be more focus on preventing the radicalisation of Muslims.
The updated approach, aimed at tackling immediate terrorist threats and the causes of extremism, would be the most comprehensive in the world, she added.
The counter-terrorism document, being published by the Home Office, will go into more detail than ever before, with Ms Smith saying counter-terrorism was "no longer something you can do behind closed doors and in secret".
It will reflect intelligence opinion that the biggest threat to the UK comes from al-Qaeda-linked groups and will also take into account recent attacks on hotels in the Indian city of Mumbai.
The paper - called Contest Two - will update the Contest strategy developed by the Home Office in 2003, which was later detailed in the Countering International Terrorism document released in 2006.
By 2011, Britain will be spending £3.5bn a year on counter-terrorism, the Home Office has said.
The number of police working on counter-terrorism has risen to 3,000 from 1,700 in 2003.
