ИСТИНА

The 10th anniversary of September 11 reminded the whole world of the terrorist threat and what should be done to prevent it. Some believe that the recent revolutionary tide in the Arab world can bring to naught what has been achieved in the struggle against terrorism since numerous extremist organizations can fill the political vacuum in these countries. Alexander Shumilin, director of the Russian Center for Analysis of Middle East Conflicts at the Institute of U.S. and Canada Studies, believes that the Arab society with major powers will not allow extremists to take the leading positions in newly-shaping governments.
