The Thursday (11 March) blasts in Madrid, the 11 September terrorist
attack in New York and terrorist sallies in Asia are links in one
chain, Secretary-General of the Collective Security Treaty
Organization (CSTO) Nikolay Bordyuzha said on Friday.

"International terrorism is readjusting itself dramatically and is
ready to deliver strike after strike in any region of the globe. In
order to confront this evil, the global community must pool efforts
and create an atmosphere of rejection of terrorism in any form or
manifestation," Bordyuzha told Interfax-Military News Agency. The CSTO
has repeatedly called for nations and international organizations to
pool their efforts in order to rebuff terrorism and extremism, he
said. "We confirm the CSTO's readiness to continue making constructive
contributions to combating terrorism," Bordyuzha stressed.

The CSTO brings together Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Armenia and Tajikistan.
