Russian President Dmitry Medvedev called on Thursday for tougher action against global terrorism.
Medvedev arrived on Thursday in Russia's North Caucasus republic of Dagestan following recent terrorist attacks in Moscow and the Dagestani town of Kizlyar.
"The range of anti-terrorism measures must be expanded; they should be not only more effective, but also more harsh, merciless and preventive. We must punish them [the terrorists]," the Russian president said.
