SOCHI (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 16th October, 2019) Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday that Libya risks becoming a key terrorist hub in North Africa from which terrorist cells may continue to spread into other countries.
"Libya risks becoming the main terrorist hub in North Africa where this disease [terrorism] may spread into other countries and continents," Lavrov said at the 18th meeting of heads of special services, security and law enforcement agencies of Russia's Federal Security Service partner states, held in Sochi.
