Statecraft & Strategy: Europe’s Changing Counterterrorism Challenge
Body
CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler writes: “Today, Europe is facing a resurgent and increasingly complex terrorism threat. Between 2022 and 2024, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (EUROPOL) reports that 206 terror attacks—both foiled and successful—were recorded on the continent, and 1255 individuals were arrested on terrorist-related charges.[1] Put another way, Europe as a whole is experiencing more than one terror attack per week, on average; slightly less than six per month. Moreover, those statistics are assuredly incomplete, since EUROPOL only collates data that is forwarded by its member states.”
