Putin: Russia to take tough action against terror
“Prime Minister Vladimir Putin vowed Thursday that the Russian government will step up the fight against terrorism following a deadly train bombing that killed 26 people last week.
Putin admitted that terrorism remains a top threat to the nation and promised that the authorities would act ‘very harshly’ to uproot terrorists.
‘We have enough resolve and firmness for that,’ he said, opening a question-and-answer session broadcast live by Russia’s state television.
The bombing last Friday of the Moscow-to-St.Petersburg express train fueled fears that Russia could face another wave of terror attacks outside the volatile North Caucasus region following years of relative calm and official claims that Islamic militants had been defeated.”
