"HH the President, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, sent a message to US President George Bush, and was unflinching on the necessity to take action. 'We share with you the belief that the acts carried out on 11 September are utterly repugnant in the eyes of Islam. We reaffirm our willingness to contribute in any way possible to an international campaign to eradicate terrorism in all its forms and manifestations,' he said.”
