    Country Reports on Terrorism.  Text of report will also be emailed
    to EUR/NB and S/CT via unclass and classified email.

    ¶2.  Begin text of submission:

    Iceland

    Iceland is a NATO ally and party to all 12 major UN conventions
    against terrorism.  Though the country does not have a military of
    its own, in 2006 the government undertook efforts to review its
    national security policy following the withdrawal of U.S. military
    forces from Iceland.  Iceland does not provide official support to
    terrorist organizations and is a partner of the U.S. government in
    counterterrorism efforts.

    The Icelandic government does not provide sanctuary for terrorists
    or terrorist organizations and has made strong efforts to ensure
    that Iceland is not a haven for terrorist groups.  In June 2006
    Iceland passed the "Act to Counter Money Laundering and the
    Financing of Terrorist Acts," which brought Icelandic law fully into
    compliance with the Financial Action Task Force's recommendations
    regarding terrorist financing.  Icelandic authorities implement
    asset-freeze requests from the United Nations 1267 Committee and
    cooperate with U.S. government asset-freeze requests.  As part of
    its efforts to prevent trafficking in weapons of mass destruction,
    Iceland is a member of the Proliferation Security Initiative and a
    participant in the U.S. Coast Guard's International Port Security
    Program.  Iceland is a party to the Schengen Agreement and as such
    consults closely with other Schengen states on border control and
    security matters.

    There are no known international or domestic terrorist organizations
    operating in Iceland.  In September 2006 the National Police
    Commissioner's Office confirmed that it was investigating a case
    involving a resident who had shown an interest in researching
    explosives and bomb making.  No charges were brought in the case,
    but this was the first public confirmation that Iceland's police
    conduct pre-emptive investigations of possible terrorist activity.
    Further, on September 26, 2006 the government announced efforts to
    strengthen its security and counterterrorism capabilities, including
    among other actions a legal review of intelligence and information
    sharing with foreign governments, the planned establishment of a
    national security unit within the National Police Commissioner's
    Office, and purchases of a new fixed-wing aircraft and patrol vessel
    for the Icelandic Coast Guard (ICG).

    With the closure of the Cold War-era U.S. Naval Air Station Keflavik
    in September 2006, the governments of the U.S. and Iceland committed
    themselves to developing new security arrangements focused on
    countering terrorism and other emerging threats, such as
    proliferation and trafficking.   On October 12, 2006, Iceland's
    Prime Minister and Foreign Minister and the U.S. Secretary of State
    signed a Joint Understanding on defense and security issues,
    detailing new initiatives in training, exercises, and intelligence.

    During the year the Government of Iceland conducted several joint
    counterterrorism training activities with the U.S. government.  From
    August 29-30, 2006, the ICG hosted Operation Northern Challenge, an
    explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and anti-improvised explosive
    device exercise with participants from the ICG, the U.S., and five
    other NATO and Partnership for Peace militaries.  From October
    12-17, the ICG's EOD unit and the National Police Commissioner's
    "Viking Squad" counterterrorism unit provided security for the visit
    of the amphibious assault ship USS Wasp; on October 16, the Viking
    Squad and the EOD unit conducted counterterrorism training with
    support from the Wasp's helicopter detachment.

    Iceland supports NATO counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan
    through the deployment of a mobile observation team to the
    provincial reconstruction team in Ghor Province and its role as lead
    NATO nation at Kabul International Airport.  Iceland has also
    deployed personnel to the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission, which
    reports violations of the cease-fire between the Sri Lankan
    government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
    Politically, Iceland supports OSCE counterterrorism efforts and has
    also been active at the United Nations in supporting the passage of
    a Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism.
