“When an attack happens and you had no prior intelligence, that’s one thing,” former French domestic intelligence counterterror chief Louis Caprioli tells FRONTLINE and ProPublica in the new, joint investigation, “Terror in Europe.” “But when you find out that you could have prevented it, that is a tragedy.”

In “Terror in Europe,” FRONTLINE and ProPublica tell the inside story of the missteps and systemic breakdowns in the runup to the Charlie Hebdo, Paris and Brussels attacks — and investigate why Europe remains so vulnerable today.

  1. story you might want to feature 3/15/17  N.B.C. News ,Alexander Smith10,000  Assault Rifles, Machine Guns, Mortars and Grenades seized in Spain  ! The Article states these weapons were seized in Northern Spain and said to be destined for Gangs in Spain, France and Belgium .  This is B.S.  I have said for the past couple of years that the Muslims of Europe are smuggling and stock piling Military Weapons acrossthe European Unions open borders and when they are ready all Purgatory will break loose in Europe . I believe this seizure is just a small portion of weapons being stashed by Muslims in Europe for the big event. God help the UN ARMED Christians  in Europe , it is going to be a slaughter.

  2. A religious test. Hmm. I'm sure Nationalism that's the answer!
    Not.
    It's not the religion but the means of communication of intelligence to other countries in the EU, lack of advanced technology or lack of incentive through the EU to improve security measures at the borders.
    They had been pulled over on the WANTED terrorist list but the police let them through.
