India suggests monitoring of terrorism

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, OCT. 1. India has welcomed the new resolution by the U.N. Security Council on counter-terrorism but has demanded that a mechanism be established to ensure that individual countries curb extremist activity on their soil. ``We hope that the resolve of the international community is now translated into concrete action through effective implementation and monitoring by the Security Council'', a statement by the Ministry of External Affairs said.

Describing the Security Council Resolution 1373 as a ``positive step'', the statement pointed out that there was a need for international cooperation to counter the global sweep of terrorism.

The resolution provided a framework for collective action as it sought to deny funds, recruitment, weapon supplies and safe havens for terrorists.
