Today is the 10th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre. AP quotes the commander of EU peacekeepers in Bosnia saying “the net is closing in” on the two men responsible for the worst massacre in Europe since World War II.
Nice, except that’s followed up by the dumbest quote I’ve seen this morning (it’s early yet): [...]

This Financial Times article about the enormous quantity of photos received by news media associated with the London bombing. The BBC alone received “more than 1,000 still pictures of the unfolding events and 300 different bits of amateur video”. Helen Broaden - BBC director of news - is quoted as saying that “the gap between [...]

Today is the tenth anniversary of the massacre in Srebrenica. Nearly 8,000 people died. We will not forget.
It is also, by one of those rare coincidences, the day on which the trial of Mohammed Bouyeri - a Moroccan Dutch national who is accused of the murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh - [...]

Just in case everyone had forgotten, Luxembourg voted today in a referendum on the EU constitution. They voted yes, by 56.52% to 43.48% to be exact. Not that it changes much since Luxembourg has a population of just 465,000. Junker will soldier on as Prime Minister, and now someone else has to think up [...]

There is a consensus view emerging that the economic impact of last Thursday’s terrorist attack will be minimal. I beg to disagree: it *may* not be. The reasoning behind this is economic not WoT/political. The apparent stylised fact we are being offered is that “a look at previous terrorist attacks… suggests that any impact [...]

Those who want a break from all the introspection over terrorism could do worse than let their minds run free on the implications of what is happening in China and India, or puzzle about holiday destinations now that the euro is going down while some other destinations are evidently seeing the value of their money [...]

I?m grateful for the thought (and the information and the links) that have gone into recent posts by my co-blogger Edward. I find myself disagreeing with him about only one thing: That the London bombing will (or should) lead to a major change in the way we see things, or to the West?s anti-terror strategy [...]

I am emphasising and emphasising, and emphasising over again: following what has been happening in Spain is important to understand *one* of the evolution pathways of radical Islam in Europe. Unfortunately most of the relevant material is in Spanish. Googling I found this. I cannot vouch for the source, but the information contained in the [...]
