Sharon proposes Israel, Russia fight terror together

JERUSALEM, Sept. 5 - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon proposed Israel and Russia work together to fight terror, Israel Radio reported Sunday.

Sharon is expected to discuss the issue Monday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who will be visiting Israel, the radio said.

In a message of condolence to Russia, Sharon said Israel stands by Russia's side in this difficult period.

Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom also expressed his condolences, saying the attack on innocent civilians proves that terror has no borders.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday demanded a drastic shakeup of security forces' tactics against terror after a school siege in southern Russia by Chechen militants that ended in the deaths of some 330 people, nearly half of them children.

Putin admitted that authorities had failed to recognize or react effectively to the threats facing his country.
