Libya and Sudan, two of the seven countries on a US list of designated "state sponsors of terrorism," came closest to meeting Washington’s demands for co-operation after the 11 September attacks on the United States, the State Department said in a report released this week. The annual report "Patterns of Global Terrorism 2001" - bigger than ever at 179 pages - says 2001 was the deadliest year for terrorist attacks because of the 3,000 people killed by suicide hijackers in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
