Russian official warns ISIS and Al-Qaeda may set up new ‘terrorist holding’

“A new global challenge may be the alliance of the IS and Al-Qaeda,” Kozhetev, who also heads the anti-terrorist center stated on Monday, TASS reported.

“The unification of these terrorist organizations may lead to the creation of a hybrid terrorist holding,” he stressed, noting that this holding may have a powerful resource basis and a serious destructive potential.

The official addressed a conference on “Countering illegal arms supplies in the context of fight against international terrorism” in Moscow, which kicked off on Monday. The two-day event is dedicated to the Solidarity Day in anti-terror fight marked in Russia in early September.
