The detection by EGRET of gamma-rays from more than 50 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) allowed us to expect these objects to be the sources of extragalactic cosmic rays at very high energy. The TeV gamma-rays from nearby BL Lac objects of the AGNs examined were detected by the Whipple Observatory collaboration. In this paper, we present the results given by the Tibet air shower array on the search for 10 TeV gamma-ray emission from 18 relatively nearby AGNs with redshifts of z < 0.07.
