Mumbai Attacks Show Terrorist Threat Is Real
The act of terrorism in India has shown the threat of terrorism is still real for any state, said Russia’s Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev.
“First of all, we should say the threat of terrorism hasn’t been removed, it is growing and it is the real threat, which we are fighting now,” Patrushev told the reporters in Novosibirsk-city of Siberia.
According to Patrushev, a fairly efficient system of opposing terrorism has been set up in Russia both on the federal and regional levels. “It works, the act was passed, decrees were inked and they govern the work,” the Security Council secretary specified.
“The statistics prove it. The number of acts of terrorism that annually happen in our country, it goes down materially each year, by several fold. It is very good, but we should understand that the threat is real and it is the threat for any state, no matter how economically developed it may be, no matter how rich by the people it may be,” Patrushev specified.
In Russia, the counterterrorism meetings are held annually and quite a number of departments from different countries attend them, the official pointed out, adding that they had the last meeting in Khanty-Mansiysk this year.
