SEOUL, South Korea (AP) _ Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said Wednesday that another Sept. 11-like terror attack would be disastrous, but that he was confident the world economy could withstand it.

"New York survived Sept. 11, America survived Sept. 11, the world did," Giuliani told reporters. "It's not something that you hope happens, but if it did I would think America, New York, the world economy would survive that also. We're much stronger than we think we are."

Giuliani made the comments on the sidelines of an international financial conference he attended in South Korea's capital sponsored by the Financial Times newspaper.

An assault such as the one on Sept. 11, 2001, "would be catastrophic" if it were to happen again, he said. "Just given the fact that you learn from prior things that happen, it probably would be handled better, if you can handle something like that better. The impact of it is just beyond anyone."
