Tony Blair has welcomed a plan for an "alliance of civilisations" to combat Islamist terrorism by bringing together Christian and Muslim nations, after meeting both the Spanish and Turkish leaders in Downing Street today.
Although details were scant on the bones of the proposal from the Spanish prime minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Mr Blair welcomed it as a way of joining "civilised people from whatever race or religion to combat the barbarity of terrorism".
