MINSK, October 8 (RIA Novosti's Olesya Luchaninova) - The Council of Security Agency Chiefs of the Commonwealth of Independent States had its 17th session in Minsk, Belarussian capital.

It determined to pool in dactylographic information for a united CIS database concerning persons suspected of, or convicted for terror act plotting and/or perpetration. The conferees signed a relevant document to sum up the session.

"We are setting up a number of other joint databases for every secret service within the CIS to use. We have blueprinted measures to step up information exchanges about non-government organisations and foundations suspected of terrorist financing, said Nikolai Patrushev, Director of Russia's Federal security Service, or FSB, and Council Chair, as he was summing up the session for the media.

The conferees debated a draft CIS programme to combat international terrorism and other extremist activities for 2005-07, he added.

The session chartered ways to streamline secret services' alliance to detect, prevent and thwart illegal penetration of CIS countries, and sojourn there, by aliens and stateless persons.

More than 500 terror acts have been prevented in Russia this year, said Mr. Patrushev.
