\nterrorist alert remains ‘blue-cautious’ in Romania, the Romanian Intelligence Service informed on
\nTuesday. The October attacks in France (in Paris, Nice and Avignon), as well as
\nin Austria (in Vienna) on November 2, confirm that the threat to Europe is
\ncurrent and on an upward trend, even if the continent is faced with a deep
\nhealth crisis, reads the service’s Facebook page. The model in recent years has
\nbeen maintained: small-scale attacks, with weapons that can be easily procured
\n(white or firearm), organized by individuals, difficult to identify, who have a
\njihadist ideological affiliation, but no proven links with terrorist
\norganizations. The Romanian Intelligence Service also says that sensitive
\nissues, such as the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, have once again proved
\nto be the trigger for a series of attacks, but their real motivation is
\njihadist-terrorist, based on the ideology of global jihad, in which the West and Christianity are
\nconsidered enemies of the Muslim world. The Vienna attack, committed in a
\nCentral European country free from significant terrorist attacks in recent
\nhistory, is a warning that any state in Europe can be a target for terrorists,
\nthe Romanian Intelligence Service also warns. <\/p>\n
