Terrorism a global threat: Advani

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, SEPT. 12. Describing the terrorist attacks in the U.S. on Tuesday as an assault on humanity, the Union Home Minister, Mr. L.K. Advani, today said that the attacks were not just on America but on democracy too.

Delivering his inaugural address at the seventh Delhi Book Fair, the Home Minister said the danger posed by terrorism was global and could be resolved only through the coming together of all democratic nations.

``It was probably only during World War II that so many innocent people were killed. The incident has vindicated India's stand that terrorism is emerging as a global threat,'' he said.
