World's security officials pledge to cooperate in fighting terrorism

Nusa Dua, Bali

TERRORISM has increasingly become a transnational phenomenon as it respects no national boundaries, say top security officials from around the world, as they pledged to strengthen law enforcement and border management cooperation.

The airports, seaports and other border-crossing points thus need to be more effectively managed, they said, with "the global war on terror entering a new chapter" through growing threats from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) extremist network.
