Syrian President Bashar Assad and his Iranian counterpart, Mohammad Khatami, spoke by telephone and agreed that Islamic states should hold consultations concerning the attacks on the United States, a Syrian presidential spokesman said.

Diplomats said the countries were rallying support for an emergency meeting of Islamic foreign ministers to forge a common stand on the attacks and possible U.S. retaliation.

Syria and Iran, both on a U.S. list of countries accused of supporting international terrorism, have condemned the assaults.
