| Indonesian, Egyptian leaders share intelligence in war on terror |
| 2002-09-13 |
| Presidents Megawati Sukarnoputri of Indonesia and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt discussed how to improve sharing intelligence in fighting terror, Mubarak advisor Osama al-Baz said. The two discussed cooperation in collecting, exchanging and analyzing information "not only in Egypt and Indonesia but in general — the flow of terrorist groups, the flow of finances and so on," Baz told a press conference after the talks. Tracking the money is where the payoff is. Without money, the Bad Guys wither and die. Unfortunately there's still a lot of money flowing from the Soddy coffers... "But Egypt and Indonesia are not countries that are in danger at the moment," Baz said in response to a question from AFP about intelligence cooperation. I'd call that wishful thinking on the Indonesians' part... "We suffered from this phenomenon in the past and we used to fight it together," Baz said. "So we're discussing ways and means for improving our ability and strengthening our hand in dealing with this phenomenon at home and abroad." |
