Meeting in Algiers, interior ministers from Algeria, Libya, Morocco, Mauritania, Tunisia, Spain, France, Italy, Malta, and Portugal planned increasing cooperation on border security, refusal to pay ransoms to terrorists, and efforts against cybercrime “as an engine for the spread of terrorism.” Interior Minister Kablia said that “[a]ny terrorist who wants to attack Algeria has only two options: surrender or death.” President Bouteflika has asked a panel to begin work on revising the constitution.
