The Coordinated Counterterrorism Act proposes to significantly broaden the types of foreign entities eligible for counterterrorism assistance from the Department of State. It specifically amends Section 571 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, which currently focuses on enhancing the capabilities of foreign law enforcement agencies. Under this proposed amendment, the scope of assistance would be expanded to include foreign intelligence and military units, alongside existing law enforcement recipients. Furthermore, the bill explicitly adds information sharing with United States law enforcement agencies as a permissible form of assistance, aiming to enhance collaborative efforts against terrorism.
