Tehran, August 4 (KCNA) -- The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tuesday accused the West of taking a wrong attitude towards the terrorism issue.

Speaking to reporters, he exposed the West's sheltering terrorist organizations, and said Western nations should not protect terrorists but punish them.

If terrorist acts are prevalent all over the world, terrorists will aim at not only specific regions but also countries which supported them, the spokesman said. The West should show their sincerity in the anti-terrorism battle.
