    The logic ICPDL is the expressive extension of Propositional Dynamic Logic (PDL), which admits intersection and converse as program operators. The result of this paper is containment of ICPDL-satisfiability in 22EXP, which improves the previously known non-elementary upper bound and implies 22EXP-completeness due to an existing lower bound for PDL with intersection (IPDL). The proof proceeds showing that every satisfiable ICPDL formula has model of tree width at most two. Next, we reduce satisfiability in ICPDL to omegaomega-regular tree satisfiability in ICPDL. In the latter problem the set of possible models is restricted to trees of an omegaomega-regular tree language. In the final step,omegaomega-regular tree satisfiability is reduced the emptiness problem for alternating two-way automata on infinite trees. In this way, a more elegant proof is obtained for Danecki\u27s difficult result that satisfiability in IPDL is in 2EXP2EXP
