"The international meeting will also approve a joint antiterrorist program," he noted.
The tragic events in Beslan, the CIS and foreign countries prove that international terrorism has unleashed a total and full-scale war against the entire international community. "It is a cruel and unprincipled war aimed at our dearest, children," the colonel-general of the police emphasized (the September 1-3 terrorist act in the town of Beslan in North Ossetia killed, according to official data, 329 people, including 171 children). Nobody doubts now that the struggle against international terrorism requires consolidated effort of all states an entire society, Alexander Chekalin stressed.
Russia will take the most active part in this process, he said. During a routine visit to Moscow in early December 2004, Federal Bureau of Investigations Director Swan Muller discussed joint efforts of the Russian Interior Ministry and the FBI against terrorism and related transnational organized crime, Colonel-General Chekalin added.
