Gravissima affermazione di Reid, tutti quelli che credono nel terrorismo

saranno ..accontentati

UK Home Secretary John Reid has said Europe faced a "persistent and very real" threat from terrorism, after a meeting with EU counterparts in London.

But he said the presence of five other interior ministers and top EU officials symbolised Europe's determination to stand together and defend their values.

Finland, holder of the EU presidency, congratulated the UK on pre-empting an apparent plot to bomb US-bound planes.

Twenty-four people are now in custody in the UK over the alleged plot.

Mr Reid said the European Union needed to develop its counter-terror policies in response to the evolving threat.

He said the talks had discussed practical measures in four areas:
Tackling liquid explosives
Co-ordination of transport security
Exchange of intelligence
The nature of European Islam

The world was faced by a form of "intolerant and violent totalitarianism", he added, which was subverting a religion, Islam, whose very name stood for peace.
