Regional states to target cyber terrorism

BEIJING - The member states of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) have vowed to further strengthen their cooperation to fight cyber terrorism and online terrorist financing, security officials from member states said at a regional anti-terrorism meeting in Beijing on Wednesday.

"Internet terrorism and fundraising have become the new impetus for terrorists to carry out their plans," Kolbai Musaev, deputy chief of the State Committee for National Security of the Kyrgyz Republic, said at the meeting.

He said the Internet has become an important tool for terrorists to organize attacks.
