Iran's Rouhani warns of 'terror' spreading to North Africa

TEHRAN: Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned against the threat of "terrorist governments" being established in North Africa as violence spreads from Syria and Iraq, as he met Saturday with EU diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini.

"The terrorist actions in Syria and Iraq are a serious threat to the world. If there is not a serious battle against terrorism in the region, we will see several terrorist governments and entities emerge in the North African region," said Rouhani, according to the presidency's website.
