An editorial in Saudi Arabia's Okaz condemned the bombings in Morocco and Algeria, but added they were not the only Arab countries to be targeted by the "disease of terrorism."
It said many Arab capitals and cities had suffered their share of terror attacks that had increased in the region, pointing out that extremist groups had not been confined to specific national borders, but had spread their destruction across the world.
"This confirms that terrorism has become a global trend, with cross-border networks that activate their cells to strike against people," the semi-official daily said.
It argued that the spread of terror required international cooperation to contain, uproot, and eliminate extremist cells," adding that both terrorist ideologies and their instigators "must be plucked out."
Fighting terror in this way, it said, could only succeed with a broad strategy requiring international cooperation and coordination, in addition to recruiting the media and educational systems to raise awareness on the dangers of terrorism.
