Egypt prepares for anti-terrorism conference

Egypt has taken measures to activate the initiative of President Mubarak to hold an international conference to discuss methods of combating terrorism.

The suggestion of President Mubarak was backed by Arab League member states, the Organization of African Unity countries and Non-Aligned Movement members.

Before leaving for New York, Egyptian Foreign Minister Amr Moussa said he will discuss the Egyptian suggestion during the meetings and communications he is going to hold in New York and during his visit to Washington.

Egyptian sources told ArabicNews.com today that there were positive outcomes achieved during communications with a number of European countries regarding this subject.

Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Switzerland are currently discussing actual steps towards those accused of terrorism who attained permanent residency or asylum.
