Israel, Russia affirm anti-terrorism alliance

None

JERUSALEM -- The Russian and Israeli leaders have declared themselves partners in a battle against global terrorism.

 

Dmitry Medvedev told his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, that terrorism threatens Israel in a "very unique way." But Russia also suffers from terror with what he called "common roots," he added at a meeting in Jerusalem on Thursday.

 

"This is why there is a need to fight terror together," Medvedev said.
