German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel underscored the breadth of the problem, pointing to a prolifera­ tion of"starting points" ranging from apocalyptic sects in Japan to separat­ ist and ultra-religious movements across the globe. Canada’s foreign minister Lloyd Axworthy said poison gas attacks in the Tokyo subway in 1994 and 1995 raised the spectre of extremist vio­ lence o f a "doomsday quality.” The G7 countries and Russia adopted practical steps on Tuesday to share intelligence, reinforce po­ lice cooperation, facilitate extradi­ tion and track movements of arms and money The United States avoided a po­ tential rift with its allies by omitting mention of President Bill Clinton’s call for tougher sanctions against states it says sponsor terrorism. French InteriorMinister Jean-Lou­ is Debre called the U.S. approach simplistic and outdated, a view ap­ parently shared by Japan and other European nations. Kinkel said terrorism now had multiple origins — internal political movements of the extreme left or right, separatists carry ing their strug­ gles across national borders.
