Terrorist attack in Turkey reinforces need for unity

China Daily  

That the barbarity took place during the holy month of Ramadan may make it particularly unacceptable to the Islamic community. By targeting innocent passengers, both Turkish and international, at one of the world's busiest aviation hubs, the plotters behind Tuesday's attack - whether the Islamic State group or not - had an obvious objective: to send, and amplify a message of terror, and create a sense of horror. The Turkish president has expressed hope that the "international community, especially the Western countries, including their administrations, parliaments, media organs and civil societies, will take a firm stand against terrorism". Almost 15 years into the international "war on terror", which started in the wake of the terrorist attacks on the United States on Sept 11, 2001, the world appears just as vulnerable, if not more, to terrorist threats, precisely because countries have their own perspectives and calculations. An international safety net against terror will remain out of the question unless countries work out at least a loosely unified stance on the matter.
