Gulf Arabs pledge support
CAIRO, Sept. 23 A group of six Persian Gulf Arab states pledged support today for an international coalition against terrorism, providing important support for Washington's efforts to track down those responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The Gulf Cooperation Council, meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, expressed "the willingness of its members to participate in any joint action that has clearly defined objectives. It is willing to enter into an alliance that enjoys the support of the international community to fight international terrorism and to punish its perpetrators," said Bahrain's foreign minister, Mohammed Bin Mubarak Khalifa.
