“Europe in the Eye of the Storm”
By OLIVIER GUITTA (Middle East Times)
Published: December 15, 2008
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Out of the 14 arrested, six have already been charged with membership of a terrorist group. Some of those charged were of Moroccan origin [for more on this please view my last week’s column The Moroccan Terror Connection]. All are Belgian citizens, including two converts to Islam. Among the charged, is cyber jihadist star Malika al-Aroud, whose first husband killed himself when he murdered anti-Taliban fighter Ahmed Massoud on Sept. 9, 2001. Her second husband, Moez Garsalloui, is believed to be the leader of the cell and is reportedly in Afghanistan.
Interestingly regarding this plot, on Nov. 25, Saudi TV Al-Arabiya reported that an Islamist group threatened to carry out bloody attacks in Belgium such as the ones in London and Madrid. The group claimed it wanted to punish Belgium for its contribution to the war in Afghanistan.
Even if Europe has not witnessed a major attack since 2005, it does not mean it is not a major target for al-Qaida. In fact, in the last year major terror cells were dismantled in France, Spain, Italy, Denmark, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. Gilles de Kerchove, the EU’s counterterrorism czar considers al-Qaida the biggest threat to Europe.”
