Islamic conference splits over naming suicide bombers terrorists
At Kuala Lumpur a major Islamic conference opened with Muslims divided over whether death by own action bombers should be condemned as terrorists. Malaysia's Mahathir Mohamad urged labeling all civilian-killing acts as terrorism while Palestinian Foreign Minister Farouk Kaddoumi argued causes justify such acts. An accompanying resolution condemned state terrorism, but the forum risked a broader split on who qualifies as a terrorist versus a freedom fighter.
