"On 19 January, Spanish Minister of the Interior Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba announced that the Guardia Civil had arrested 12 Pakistanis and two Indians in Barcelona on the previous night. Materials for making explosive devices were recovered during raids on several apartments, a mosque and a prayer hall, although there was some confusion over whether explosives had been found."

"This latest case suggests that Al-Qaeda is pro-actively trying to establish a presence in certain European countries, rather than waiting for local grassroots radicals to make contact or strike independently."

Well done by all agencies involved.  I wish most of you had a paid subscription to Janes to you could read more about it.

So nobody is concerned about the assessment that Al-Q is taking base in Europe?  I know it is not fox news and you cannot deflect from the story since the source is about as solid as it comes.

In all seriousness, what can you do to stop it?  You can't kill an underground terrorist group, and you can't negotiate with them.  What's left to do?  Invest in better defense technology?

Hey, you won't get much argument from me.  Spain is rather spineless on this topic, but then again, they have a history of being conquered by Muslims.

Boy for a group of people that are of little concern or no threat or insignificant, they sure are keeping Eurpean authorites pretty busy lately. I hope Europe can continue to keep up with these insignificant, "islolated incidences"...
