Europe Should Confront Lone Wolf Terrorism

The recent terrorist attacks in Europe,  are characterized by what is known as “lone wolf terrorism”. Europe finds it difficult to handle the phenomenon. Israel also has difficulties, but responses here are more rapid, an advantage sometimes resulting in a decrease in the damage.

Less than a week after the Nice attack, a European country is hit once again by lone wolf terrorism. A 17 year old Afghan refugee, armed with an ax and a knife, attacked passengers in a train car in south Germany, shouting “Allahu Akbar”. He was shot to death after trying to escape. There were three people severely wounded, a fourth one slightly wounded, and 14 others were being treated for shock.
