Ireland not immune from terrorist attacks, says EU

IRELAND is just as possible a target of a terrorist outrage as any other European country, the EU's anti-terror chief warned yesterday.

Gijs De Vries said al-Qaida activists and supporters moved between all EU countries and engaged in fundraising in all member states including Ireland.

Mr De Vries also said he intended to highlight the operations of the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) to EU justice ministers as a possible model for targeting terrorist finances.
