Pope Benedict XVI has appealed to Muslims to help combat the 'cruel fanaticism' of terrorism.

At a meeting with Germany's Muslim leaders in Cologne, the pontiff said Islamic teachers had a 'great responsibility' to educate the young.

Afterwards, the Pope led an open-air prayer vigil at a park outside the city, which was attended by at least 700,000 people.
