Al-Qaeda could be planning to attack this summer’s Euro 2008 football championships in Switzerland and Austria, it was reported today.

“The Euro 2008 tournament is a target cited by the Islamist terrorist network,” a police spokesman reportedly told Swiss newspaper La Liberte.

A flurry of messages have been monitored, by police and security officials in Switzerland, on two Islamist internet forums – sos minbar and As-Sahab – which are favoured by the extremist terrorist group as a means to awaken dormant cells.

One message is reported to say: “Let’s transform these two countries, the safest in Europe, into hell – like the hell in Iraq or Afghanistan.”

Perhaps Obama can sit down and talk to them, and persuade them to change their ways.

Hopefully European authorities will be able to prevent this from happening.

The “renewal” written about over at Brussels Journal couldn’t come too soon.

There are many Europeans who are concerned about the future of our continent and its culture. Many of them work tirelessly in their chosen fields to strengthen European civilisation. But European conservatives do not know one another well. Conservatives respect local traditions and national cultures. But European conservatives likewise recognise that they are part of a common civilisation and it is important for European leaders to meet. Building and strengthening a network of like-minded Europeans is among our key priorities.
