AL QAEDA IN EUROPE
Description
Europe has become one of the key battlegrounds in the global war on terror. The July 2005 London metro bombings are just the latest indication that the Old Continent plays a key role for Islamic terrorists, both as a target and a base of operations. The problem has serious implications for the United States - terrorists carrying European passports, for example, can easily enter the country. It is not a coincidence, in fact, that every attack planned or executed against the United States, including 9/11, has had strong European ties. Al Qaeda in Europe is the first book in English that dissects Islamic terrorism on the Continent. Lorenzo Vidino, a European expert for the Investigative Project — a Washington, DC-based counterterrorism institute and America's largest private datagathering center on militant Islamic activities—analyzes the causes of this dangerous situation while providing an extensive historical overview of Islamic terrorist activities in Europe.
