Arab Ministers Get Involved In Stopping Terrorism
"Arab Interior Ministers' Council on Wednesday prepared a work plan on anti-terrorism in the Arab countries. The work plan is based on exchanging expertise and information among Arab countries to fight terror, General Secretariat of the Arab Council said in a statement.
"Wrapping up meetings in Tunis, the Secretariat added that the Council agreed to preparing researches and special studies on terrorism phenomenon, holding seminars, training sessions and taking necessary procedures to prevent infiltration of chemical and biological weapons to terror groups.
"The statement noted that the meeting underlined the importance of consolidating relation with civil society institutions to contribute to combating terror in addition to adopting measures to confront crimes committed through the internet."
It is about time that the Middle East started to get busy on these issues. I whole heartedly welcome their actions and increased awareness. Fighting terrorism is everyone's business! Clearly around the world there is more and more concern about bio and nuclear terrorism. Keeping these weapons out of the hands of radicals and extremists needs a pro-active and consolidated approach as the ministers agreed. I will look for new policies and agendas as the Arab world works to police its own communities.
