World summit against terrorism tomorrow in Washington

In the wake of the attack against Charlie Hebdo, the interior ministers from eleven European countries and the US Attorney General Eric Holder have agreed to met on Sunday, January 18 in Washington, in a World Summit against terrorism. A Mass that will be chaired by Barack Obama.

On a subject as delicate as terrorism, the leaders of the old continent are eclipsed to give the leading role to the United States. The meeting “will bring together all our allies to discuss ways in which we can counter violent extremism in the world,” Holder said to the press.

The summit aims to “prevent violent extremists and their supporters to radicalize, recruit and inspire individuals or groups in the United States and elsewhere, in order to commit acts of violence,” said a statement from the White House.
