18/01/2008 (Agence Europe) - Security Commissioner Franco Frattini has said that he shared the concerns recently expressed by Washington that Europe could become a platform for terrorist threats against the United States. “We are in a war situation,” he told the BBC on 16 January. “Day after day, we discover cells of terrorists,” he said. “The terrorists are increasingly looking to Europe as both a target and a platform for terrorist attacks,” said US Secretary of State for Homeland Security Michael Chertoff. He said that the United States was ready to “elevate” some of the security measures in the visa waiver programme. (B.C.)
