War on terror needs years, says Saudi FM
The Associated Press, United Nations
Sunday, 28 September 2014
Saudi Arabia's foreign minister said Saturday that the war against extremists in the Middle East may take years and must not stop before all terrorist organizations are eliminated.
Saud al-Faisal, whose country is one of five Arab countries taking part alongside the United States in airstrikes targeting the Islamic State group in Syria, also called for more decisive policies and decisions to fight terrorism.
The Saudi official did not speak before the annual U.N. General Assembly of world leaders, but his speech was distributed to the media.
"We face a very dangerous situation today. Terrorism has evolved from cells to armies and from threatening specific spots to nations," he said.
