TOKYO, Japan - The House of Representatives special committee on support for Iraqi rehabilitation passes a bill on Oct. 18 to extend an antiterrorism law another year to allow Japan to continue refueling U.S.-led coalition vessels in the Indian Ocean. The special antiterrorism law, due to expire Nov. 1, was enacted in October 2001 after the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States that year. The legislation was extended for two years in October 2003.
