Six of these suspects are in U.S. custody awaiting trial. Three are in custody in the United Kingdom pending extradition to the United States. Eight others remain at large. We are determined to see that they are held accountable for their crimes. While the effort to apprehend these terrorists is ongoing, they and others associated with Usama bin Ladin's network remain a serious international threat.
Information indicates continued terrorist activity and planning for future attacks.
Jordanian authorities were successful in thwarting a plot by Bin Ladin's Al Qaida organization to murder tourists several months ago during the millennial celebrations, and additional attacks were prevented elsewhere, including in the United States. We must keep up our guard. International cooperation against terrorism has grown in the wake of the Africa bombings. We continue to increase our cooperation with other concerned states in an effort to disrupt terrorist cells, deny movement of terrorists personnel, arms, and financing. So far this year, the United States has held formal bilateral counterterrorism discussions with India, Spain, Russia, and Canada.
