Some countries have lived with terrorism for a
long time. There are certain organizations who
have used bombings and assassinations of
Officials and politicians. But today we witness
a new type of terrorist threat that is
determined to kill thousands of ordinary
people. London, New York, Moscow, Beslan have
become deadly targets of terrorism. Terrorist
attacks cant be ignored. Terrorism is the common
enemy of all people in the world. All the
countries should stand shoulder to shoulder in
the fight against terrorism! We speak out against
the evils of terrorism!
