Excerpts of four reports on the G7+1 antiterrorism meet in Paris: WSJ: + Mass Transport: The International Civil Aviation Organization will implement new standards for bomb detection at domestic and international airports. The eight nations will jointly develop standards for more detailed and accurate passenger and cargo lists, as well as new vehicle-identification tagging methods to make car-bombing investigations easier, U.S. officials said. + Information Sharing: The U.S Federal Bureau of Investigation will lead an effort to develop an international forensic database. The FBI offered to share certain computer records with the other seven countries. + Wiretapping and Internet: The eight countries said they would develop new lawful means to intercept communications among terrorists. They agreed to study how to prevent the Internet from becoming a tool for planning and executing terrorist events. + Explosives Tracing: The U.S. will share its research on new technologies to trace the origin of explosive devices U.S. officials said, and will push for international use of such technologies if they are found to be workable. + Other Measures: Controlling trade in certain weapons and chemicals financing of terrorist organizations and forgery of travel documents also will be studied. WaPo: The 25-point plan calls for close cooperation in formulating a range of security measures, including tightened controls on firearms and explosives; prevention of terrorist communications on the Internet; improved bomb detection methods at airports; and interdiction of terrorist groups' financial resources. They also called for the expediting of extradition procedures and faster exchanges of information on terrorist activities, including any use of chemical, biological or nuclear materials. Details on all 25 points were left for law enforcement and forensic experts to work out, with deadlines for finalization of specific measures set for 90 days to six months. FiTi: Among the measures agreed in Paris were an accelerated programme of research designed to find ways to mark explosives so their origin could be identified after a blast; the development of ways to prevent terrorists using electronic or wire communication systems, including the Internet and tougher sentences. The ministers also called for investigations into organisations with social, charitable and cultural goals which were abused by terrorists; restrictions on asylum- seeking by those who had committed attacks or were suspected of planning or funding them; and more effective border controls and extradition procedures. NYP: The details were not all made public today, but the measures the officials agreed to draft included devising methods to monitor terrorist attempts to communicate over the Internet; developing standards to make it easier to trace the origin of explosives used in terrorist bombs and cracking down domestically on the manufacture, sale, transport and export of explosives and firearms. ---------- For extensive background, links to related sites and latest information on the G7 series of meetings see: http://www.diplomatie.fr/actual/g7lyon/index.gb.html ---------- For today's four full reports: http://jya.com/g7terr.txt (20 kb for 4) G7T_err
