    to stop this jetliner."

    The general said: "This requires a strong-willed decision." He said
    that issues linked with air terrorism are discussed by representatives
    of the Air and Anti-Aircraft Force of the CIS. He noted: "We discuss
    this problem at a meeting of the coordinating committee today. The
    main task is to prevent such crimes."
