Ban Ki-moon: 'Despicable act'published at 05:54 Greenwich Mean Time 9 January 2015
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's speech to the UN General Assembly: "Terrorism remains a global threat. In recent days alone, we have seen carnage in Yemen as well as a despicable attack against the French magazine Charlie Hebdo.
"Our response to brutality and extremism cannot be limited to military action, important as it is. We must engage in wide-ranging efforts, including by addressing the conditions that give rise to such poison in the first place. There is also a need for greater attention to the nexus of extremism and organised crime."
