(MENAFN- Arab Times) KUWAIT CITY Jan 27 (AFP): French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius called Tuesday for international cooperation against extremism saying Muslims have been the first victims of 'terrorism'. 'No one fights under the name of religion' Fabius told journalists in Kuwait the first Muslim country he has visited since last month's deadly attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo by Islamist gunmen. When Kuwait and France fight 'against terrorism we fight those who are not only liars but also killers' he said. 'Muslims have been the first victims of those terrorists.' Fabius called for more solid international cooperation to rein out extremism saying that 'this is a battle we should win.' Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Sabah said Kuwait and France had 'identical views on terrorism' and reiterated Kuwait's strong condemnation of the 'brutal attacks in France' a reference to Charlie Hebdo.
