The Arab League has advanced efforts to expand its authority to combat Islamic insurgency. An expert panel at the Arab League Interior and Justice Ministers Council has been drafting revisions on an agreement to combat terrorism. The revisions include a range of measures meant to expand the war against Islamic insurgency. Mohammed Ali Koman, secretary-general of the Arab council, said the revisions also included the Arab League accord on battling organized crime. Koman said the panel will complete the revisions and submit them to Arab interior ministers for approval. The revisions on the anti-terror accord include a ban on incitement and fundraising. The Arab League would make these activities illegal.
