Terrorism in Europe

Here's a fascinating report by the EU documenting terrorist activity in Europe. There were 498 terrorist attacks in 2006. Most of them (424) were by separatist groups, such as ETA in Spain. Corsica was also a hotbed of terrorism by separatists, 283 in 2006. There was only one reported attack by Muslim terrorist. Despite - or maybe because of - these numbers, of the 706 suspected terrorists arrested, 257 were Muslim.

There are a lot of numbers in the report, but at least there is a report, a report that's available and readable. Would that we had a comparable report.
