UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Jordan’s King Abdullah joined other countries Wednesday in calling for a collective strategy to contain and defeat Islamic militants targeting Syria and Iraq, warning of a price to every nation if the scourge of extremism is ignored.
“Those who say ‘this is not our business’ are wrong,” he said in a speech at the United Nations General Assembly. “The security of every nation will be shaped by the fate of the Middle East. Together, we can and must undertake urgent humanitarian and security measures to create durable solutions for today’s crises,” he added.
