Europol warns of an increased risk of terrorism in the EU due to the conflict in the Middle East.

The Hague.- According to Europol, the situation in the Middle East has consequences for security in the European Union, including an increase in the threat of terrorism and extremism, as well as a rise in cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns. Europol warned that the situation has repercussions for crime and terrorism in the EU, including an increase in cyberattacks and online fraud. The risk of terrorism in the EU is considered high. This risk may manifest in situations of internal radicalisation by individuals or small groups. The spread of polarising content online may intensify radicalisation among communities in the EU and other individuals.
