ST.PETERSBURG. Sept 17 (Interfax-Northwest) - State Duma Speaker Boris 
Gryzlov said more vigorous efforts must be made to fight cyber- 
terrorism.

"The time has come to create laws on fighting online terrorism,"  
Gryzlov told the G8 countries' parliamentary speakers in St.Petersburg 
while speaking about the fight against international terrorism.

"The terrorists have been using the Internet to organize terrorist 
attacks and to disseminate terror propaganda," Gryzlov said. "The 
international laws currently in effect, including the Council of 
Europe's 2001 Convention on Cybercrime, are no longer sufficient to 
effectively resist the terrorists, whose operations are becoming 
increasingly sophisticated and large-scale," said Gryzlov.
