Thus the people of many a country were seen to have been seized by inhumane terrorists.Now will the world be united to raise a highest voice against terrorism and fight unanimously against it? The assistance of both the US and France is praiseworthy in this case. Now the world should make an unanimous voice against terrorism and move the chariot of human civilization fast forward. G20 has already declared its voice against terrorism. US, France, Russia, UK, India, Turkey, Australia etc has stated their stand against terrorism straight. UN should made a clear verdict against terrorism. There is no good terrorism or bad terrorism. Terrorism is terrorism. What needs the world today is a strong union of all the countries against terrorism.
