Jihadists, Far-Right Killers, And Northern Irish Nationalists Most Dangerous In The EU


EU Observer: Jihadist and far-right killers most dangerous in EU

Jihadist and far-right extremists were the most lethal, but Northern Irish nationalists also posed a threat, according to a new EU report on terrorism.

The killing of 17 EU civilians in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday last year showed that "the so-called Islamic State (IS) still looks to conduct large-scale attacks targeting EU citizens", Europol, the EU's joint police agency in The Hague, said on Tuesday (23 June).

IS, which used to control parts of the Middle East, was also responsible for the Paris shootings in 2015 and the Brussels bombs in 2016, as well as a string of smaller attacks in France and Germany in recent years.

WNU: That picture with stats, is there one that shows stats depending on what the arrests affiliate? Ie, how many of those arrests were far-right, "jihadi" or whatever? Because that picture doesnt really tell us anything.

My point is that I want to know how many of all of these numbers are anything else than "jihadi", my guess way far less.

And by the way, its telling how they name it "jihadist" instead of muslim related.
