Branded terrorists by the US, the Shiite radical group Hezbollah has offices throughout Europe, insisting it is simply a political and humanitarian organisation raising money that is funnelled to the group’s leadership in Lebanon. But are Europe’s security services paying close enough attention, wonders the New York Times. 
According to the French authorities, the man suspected of having killed seven people recently in southern France says he belongs to Al-Qaeda. Le Monde notes that despite the death of its leader Osama bin Laden, the group has not given up targeting Europe. 
EU countries have been swapping information with their allies in the "war on terror". Often it's just information on “troublemakers”, i.e. political protesters. And whether they have actually ever committed an offence makes no difference. 
As the EU cracks down on firearms, illegal trafficking in altered alarm guns is booming on the Continent. They’re cheap, easy to alter, impossible to trace – so they’re becoming the criminal’s weapon of choice.
The security summit at Deauville, France, saw the first inklings of a new European geopolitical order. Instead of an EU buttressed by a NATO expanding eastwards comes a "trilateral" Europe, sustaining Turkey's European ambitions and keeping Russia on board. 
On 3 October, the United States, followed by the United Kingdom, warned its citizens of the “high threat” of a terror attack in Europe. The Independent wonders if such alerts aren’t creating an unwelcome climate of fear. 
Nicolas Sarkozy has put France squarely in Europe's extremist camp with his new hardline stance on security and immigration. But other countries have found far less confrontational answers to the same problems 
What the European Union is giving to Internet users and online privacy activists with one hand, it's taking away with the other, argues an American newspaper, reporting on a groundswell of opposition to increased surveillance of personal data. 
The failed terrorist attacks over the past few days have rekindled the debate about security in the face of terrorist threats. Whilst several countries are now planning to spend millions on tightening up airport security, jurist Stefano Rodotà warns against the gradual erosion of freedom and democracy in the extended aftermath of 9/11. - 1 of 2
