Obama: US, Russia must fight terrorism together

President Barack Obama says he wants greater cooperation between Russia and the United States on economic, security and anti-terrorism matters. Obama told a Russian television station that no single country can defeat terrorists who have attacked targets throughout the world.

He said he looks forward to "increasing cooperation between the United States and Russia" on fighting terrorism. Obama also said he and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev have discussed how the two former rivals can "ramp up our commercial, our trade, our economic ties." (AP)
