We can't prevent all Islamist attacks: EU anti-terror chief |
2015-01-14 |
[DAWN] It is impossible to completely prevent new Islamist attacks like those in Gay Paree, the EU's anti-terror chief said Tuesday, warning that Europe's prisons have become a massive incubator for radicalisation. Gilles de Kerchove told AFP in an interview that the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group and Al-Qaeda wanted to launch more attacks on the West like the assault on the French capital last week in which 17 people were killed over three says. We can't prevent (militant attacks) 100 per cent, said de Kerchove, who met with European, US and Canadian security ministers in Gay Paree on Sunday in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo ...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe... massacre and linked attacks. The threat remains serious, he added. De Kerchove warned that the Al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... Front, the Al-Qaeda branch in Syria, is also looking for clean skins, Europeans with no record of radical activity, to mount attacks in Europe. |

#3 "We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them." If a genuine defense isn't possible, preemption and deterrence are viable options. |

#2 Just like you can't stop all murders, rapes, and robberies, but you can punish enough to keep it down to a nuisance for most of the population. |
