Terrorism in Mideast was triggered by rash actions of external players — Russia's UN envoy

An outbreak of terrorism in the Middle East was triggered by rash actions of external players, Russian Permanent Representative at the United Nations Vitaly Churkin said on Friday at a United Nations Security Council meeting on the situation with Christians and other minorities in the region."Conditions for emerging breeding grounds of terrorism, which is hiding behind Islamic slogans but in fact has little to do with this world religion, in the territories of a number of countries of that region have not been created overnight," he said.
