That appears to have become compounded with the West’s war with Islamist militancy in general and Islamic State in particular. The deadliest single attack in Europe remains the 2004 Madrid train bombings claimed by Al Qaeda that killed 192. According to European security officials, the March 22 Brussels attack that left 35 dead, including three perpetrators, also had been intended for French soil. French officials said he appeared to be acting on a recent general order from the Islamic State leadership to attack its enemies during the holy Muslim month of Ramadan. It’s not just France, of course, but for now that country appears the most at risk.
