Dozens Of Terror Suspects Arrested In Raids Across Europe

From the New York Post:

BRUSSELS — French, German and Belgian police arrested more than two dozen suspects in anti-terrorism raids Friday, as European authorities rushed to thwart more attacks by people with links to Islamic extremists in the Mideast. 

Rob Wainwright, head of the police agency Europol, told the Associated Press that foiling terror attacks has become “extremely difficult” because Europe’s 2,500 to 5,000 radicalized Muslim extremists have little command structure and are increasingly sophisticated. 

Highlighting the fears, a bomb scare forced Paris to evacuate its busy Gare de l’Est train station during Friday morning’s rush hour. No bomb was found.
