Turkey will support a worldwide campaign by the Simon Wiesenthal Center to classify suicide bombing as a "crime against humanity."

Cooper noted that designating suicide bombing as a crime against humanity would give the global community a new weapon against the sponsors and inciters of international terrorism.

The two Wiesenthal Center officials thanked Turkey for urging Syrian President Bashar Assad to negotiate with Israel and for condemning a recent anti-Semitic tirade by the Malaysian prime minister.

On Sunday, Cooper and Samuels prayed in Istanbul with Turkey's Chief Rabbi Itzak Haleva at his synagogue, partially destroyed in the suicide bombing.
