Putin Backs U.S.-Led Action Against Terrorism
Tuesday October 2 12:21 PM ET

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin voiced strong support Tuesday for U.S.-led military action against international terrorism, saying Moscow needed no further proof for its intelligence agencies to join the battle.

``Russia's special services do not need any additional proof to participate in the struggle against terror acts,'' Putin told a news conference on an official visit to Belgium.

He slammed Saudi Arabia for its reluctance to allow U.S. forces to launch strikes on suspected terrorist networks in Afghanistan from its territory.

``I think this is a cardinal error. It's not a question of soldiers preparing strikes against Muslims but rather of soldiers preparing strikes against terrorists,'' he said.

Putin compared international terrorism to a bacteria ``which adapts to the organism bearing it'' and said such groups exploited Western ideas of freedom of speech to achieve their ends.
