Faisal/Press Briefing 4 Riyadh As regards the initiative of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz to set up an International Counter-terrorism Center, Prince Saud said that a full report of the International Counter-terrorism Conference held in the Kingdom this year had been distributed to participants in the conference. Now we are seeking to submit it to the United Nations to be ratified. A major part of the report deals with the International Counter-terrorism Center proposed by the King. If it is approved by the General Assembly, it will be combined into recommendations of a report that will be submitted by the United Nations on terrorism. Prince Saud noted that Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdulaziz, Saudi Ambassador to Italy, is the nominee for the post of ambassador in London. Replying to a question on the extradition of more than 129 Saudi detainees in Guantanamo, the Prince said the discussion of extradition has been continuing between the Saudi and U.S. governments, but the topic has not been discussed during the visit of U.S. Vice President to the Kingdom. As for the date of convening the Extraordinary Islamic Summit in Makkah, he said it will be announced after a meeting of Muslim jurisprudents, thinkers and religious scholars who will prepare for the summit. On a mutual trade agreement between the Kingdom and the United States, he indicated that it might be signed before his expected visit to the United States. --More 1917 Local Time 1617 GMT
