Europe fears it may itself become a target of terrorist attacks. According to Belgium’s Prime Minister, Guy Verhofstadt, a terrorist network, connected with Osama Bin Laden, has been established across the EU for the past ten years.
Anti-terrorism experts now fear even worse terrorist attacks,
using biological and chemical warfare. US authorities suspect that
further attacks against civilian targets may have been planned
accross the US, such as putting poisonous chemicals into water
supply or spreading deadly viruses.
Europe is also bracing itself for possible
terrorist attacks. The British Defence Minister, Geoff Hoon, has
warned that the Europe needs to be vigilant against the possibility
of a biological attack. According to media reports, the US
authorities have warned Europe to put experts in infectious
diseases on alert.
The US is awaiting the decision of the Taleban
Islamic regime, which has seized most of Afganistan, whether to
hand over the prime suspect for the September 11 terrorist attacks,
Saudi-born Osama bin Laden. However, it is believed that Osama bin
Laden could not have acted in isolation, and must have had support,
possibly of the Taleban mudjahedin who have been sheltering him for
years.
