    With all that’s going on, you’d have to say that Europe is in a far worse state than it was 20 years ago. And the outlook ain’t rosy.

    @ Rui is making the point that the threat of terrorism was far more dangerous in the 1970s then now … Terrorism is at it lowest level at present.
    So don’t believe the hype!

    Wonder if they were Islamic terrorists or is it to do with austerity?

    @Paul Devlin: There’s a group that have done stuff like this, but they are not Anarchist. Anarchists wouldn’t do this. There was a bogus group alright a few years ago, but they were denounced by every Anarchist group in Europe. Guys like Bader Meinhoff or Red Brigade would do this carry on though.

    @Eric Foley: Golden Dawn type Right wing extremists could be suspects as well to be fair. They have literally murdered several people in Greece in the last few years.

    remember when golden dawn were supposed to be the next greatest threat to human civilisation? Really goes to show the diletante politics of the media circus. On to the next doomsday scenario
