JIHAD WATCH:Arab ministers urge more cooperation on terrorism

TUNIS-Arab governments will make more progress fighting home-grown terrorist groups if security agencies across the region work together and share information, officials at a security conference said on Thursday."The Maghreb region is targeted by terrorist organizations seeking to...terrify people and thwart economic projects," Omran Ahmida, a senior Libyan official, said of North Africa's Arabic-speaking region at the meeting in Tunis."We need to do a serious job and strengthen communication between security officers," he said. "It must be a real and concrete effort or decisions will remain only words."Western analysts say mutual suspicion and frosty diplomatic ties between Arab governments have complicated efforts to share information and track down religious militants trying to establish Islamic rule in north Africa.Such cooperation has become crucial as radical groups turn to the Internet to coordinate attacks and exploit weak border controls to smuggle fighters and weapons, they say.Interpol officials joined the two-day conference of ministers and representatives from 17 Arab countries, which issued a final statement calling for better coordination and a smoother exchange of information.The ministers said they agreed to widen the scope of an agreement on fighting terrorism to include incitement to terrorism and praising terrorist attacks as crimes.Last year saw a rise in activity by Algerian Islamist rebels as they aligned with Al Qaeda and began a campaign of urban bombings, a break with their previous tactic of guerilla raids on government forces in isolated areas.A devastating twin bombing in the Algerian capital last month killed at least 41 people, including 17 U.N. staff.
