euronews on the frontline – Is Europe safe from ‘lone wolf’ terrorism?

Published

http://www.euronews.com/ After a string of recent cases in Europe and across the world, ‘lone wolf’ attacks have been identified as one of the most worrying terrorism trends today.
 
Is Europe safe from lone wolf terrorism? Our focus in this edition of On The Frontline.
 
*Terror attacks in Europe*
 
Last year, an estimated 12,500 people died as a result of terror attacks carried out by extremists groups.
 
But the massacre of 77 people in Norway last year by gunman Anders Behring Breivik highlighted the threat of ‘lone wolf’ terrorism.
 
Alain Bauer, a criminology researcher, describes a lone wolves as “isolated individuals, that engage themselves alone, without any command or logistical support.”
 
Behring said he wanted to stop the spread of Islam across Europe and opposed what he saw as Norway’s lax, pro-multicultural immigration policies.
 
But he prepared to kill without any assistance from extremist groups, planning the attack for years alone.
 
Bauer says this is strategy that recognised militant groups may look to emulate.
 
“They are relatively effective because they have a certain time, they don’t leave too many traces and they oblige authorities to use a huge amount of investigation resources. Also, above all, the lack of connection with the exterior makes much harder for intelligence and investigation services to identify them,” he told euronews.
 
Guido Steinberg, a terrorism expert with the German Institute For International and Security Affair, argues that Breivik could serve “as a model” for other extremists.
 
“He was a lot more successful than Al-Qaeda, and most of its attack or attempts to attack in Europe in years,” he said.

To answer Ana’s question U-talk asked Belgian feminist and member of the ‘Dare to be feminist’ collective Laure Juteau to comment:

“Sexism is all about putting people in boxes as soon as we meet them, labelled either ‘man’ or ‘woman’. As soon as they deviate from that, even a little, they are quickly reminded to get back into line and play their role.
