This resolution urges the U.S. to work with governments in Africa to improve counterterrorism efforts by helping African governments to create stronger anti-terrorism legislation, and “creating more mechanisms for joint counterterrorism operations and intraregional information sharing.” Cites attacks in Kenya against the Israeli-owned Paradise Hotel and an aircraft en route to Israel, and cites Hizballah as “key to Iran’s terrorism strategy,” becoming active in northern Nigeria and developing “a sophisticated and deeply embedded financial infrastructure in a number of African countries.”
