Bahrain has offered to help establish a counter-insurgency center for the Gulf Cooperation Council. Saudi King Abdullah called for the establishment of such a center during a conference in Riyadh in 2005.
The proposal, designed to improve security coordination by the six GCC states, was again raised during a May 6 summit by Gulf Arab leaders in Riyadh. The summit reviewed threats from Iran and al-Qaeda to the Gulf Arab region.
"As terrorism is one of the topics that directly affects the region, it was discussed by the leaders at the summit," UAE FM Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan said.
