Secretary general of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers Mohammad Ali Koman said terrorism has targeted leading figures in Lebanon and other parts of the Arab world.

The Arab countries should coordinate and exchange security information and expertise in order to boost the fight against terrorism, said Koman, in addition to combatting of money laundering and organized crime.

Secretary general of Interpol Ronald Noble said challenges facing Arab police were beyond the borders of the 22 Arab countries members in the Arab League.

Terrorism, trafficking of drugs and humans, stealing of vehicles have global links, so fighting these crimes depends on the ability of Arab police to cooperate with law-enforcement agencies around the world, said Noble.

He proposed establishment of a regional office of Interpol for Arab-speaking countries to contribute to a regional and international security strategy.

The participants in the meeting, however, discuss a plan for criminal tourism, security and its relations to human rights, and role of police in protecting victims of crimes.
