Terrorists planning `more murder`: Bush
US President George W Bush on Saturday warned the UN General Assembly that terrorists are planning more murder and that almost any nation is a potential target.
US President George W Bush on Saturday warned the UN General Assembly that terrorists are planning more murder and that almost any nation is a potential target.
As we meet, the terrorists are planning more murder, perhaps in my country or perhaps in yours, he said in a speech meant to spur action in the war on terrorism in the wake of the September 11 onslaught against the United States.
Few countries meet their exacting standards of brutality and oppression. Every other country is a potential target, and all the world faces the most horrifying prospect of all: these same terrorists are searching for weapons of mass destruction, the tools to turn their hatred into holocaust. They can be expected to use chemical, biological and nuclear weapons the moment they are capable of doing so. No hint of conscience would prevent it. This threat cannot be ignored. This threat cannot be appeased. Civilization itself, the civilization we share, is threatened.
