Instability in neighbors of the bloc will affect the six GCC countries, said Bahrain Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid bin Abdulla al Khalifa. Khalifa chaired a GCC interior ministers' meeting in Riyadh on Tuesday. Facing the situation, the ministers believed their countries need to adopt more powerful and effective measures against terrorism and to promote intelligence exchange among them, said Khalifa in a statement. The ministers reaffirmed their anti-terror stance and called for more regional and international cooperation, said a communique released after the meeting. The ministers also called for a clear definition of terrorism so that terrorism could be differentiated from rightful struggles against foreign occupation. The communique also identified drugs and money-laundering as unprecedented challenges facing the six GCC countries. The ministers stressed the need to enhance cooperation within the GCC and called for the establishment of mechanisms against drugs and money-laundering. The GCC is made up of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Enditem [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
