UN votes to get tougher with terrorists
The UN Security Council voted unanimously today to step up the global campaign against terrorism, calling on all nations to prosecute or extradite anyone supporting, financing or participating in terrorist acts.
The 15-0 vote at UN headquarters in New York culminated weeks of negotiations by Russia, which introduced the resolution after militants staged a series of attacks there including the suicide hijacking of two planes and the hostage-taking of a school in Beslan.
