Terror Threat (suprise) Continues in Europe

I thought Spain already surrendered in the war on terror:

Details surrounding the weekend bust of 14 suspected Islamist extremists in Barcelona are giving European security forces reason for concern — even beyond the evidence suggesting the group was working toward an eventual terror strike. Whereas radicals of North African origin have long been the main jihadist threat in Europe, Spanish authorities say 12 of the 14 men arrested Saturday are Pakistani. The reason that’s so troubling, counter-terrorism officials believe, comes with the considerable risk of two different arching lines eventually crossing: the fast-growing size of Pakistani communities on the continent, and their close ties to a homeland where Islamist radicalism is rampant.

Again, the nexus of world terrorism continues to be the gray area between Afghanistan and Pakistan. I wonder how long Non-US countries will allow themselves to be continuously threatened by groups based in this area. One would think that repeated terror threats that can be traced back to this area would spur some kind of combined action…
