RAEL\u2019S COMMENT:<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
Absolutely true! And Western countries are creating new potential terrorists every day. When love, diplomacy, and respect of other countries by stopping to attack invade and occupy them under the disguise of bringing democracy or \u201cfighting terrorism\u201d will start, there will be no more terrorists.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Despite European officials talking about increased security measures, the region\u2019s biggest countries are still on high alert, and attacks keep happening. Why does Europe remain so vulnerable? Will the situation change in the foreseeable future? RT discussed with analysts.<\/p>\n

Manchester police have confirmed the attack at Manchester Arena on Monday night was carried out by one person using an improvised explosive device. At least 22 people, including children, have been killed by the attack at a concert by American singer Ariana Grande. Over 50 others were injured.<\/p>\n

The threat level in the UK is regarded as\u00a0‘severe’\u00a0which means another attack is highly likely.<\/p>\n

\u2018We need to think about our foreign policy’
\nIndependent journalist\u00a0Robert Harneis\u00a0compared the incident in Manchester with the November 2015 attacks in Paris by Islamist militants on the Bataclan concert hall and other sites in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a similar attack on a soft target,\u201d\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n

In his view, terrorist attacks have become\u00a0\u201ca new norm\u201d\u00a0for European countries because of\u00a0\u201cwhat they do\u201d\u00a0as part of their foreign policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to be realistic: we go into the Middle East and North Africa and attack other people\u2026We go to these countries, and we cause bloody chaos. It is not very surprising that there is blowback. We have to sit down and think about what our foreign policy is; why we are in these countries; is it necessary for us to be involved in all this mayhem in Syria and Libya, in Iraq and Afghanistan, and so on,\u201d Harneis said.<\/p>\n

The attack on Manchester happened on the fourth anniversary of the murder of Lee Rigby, a British soldier killed by two Islamist extremists in southeast London. Is there a possible connection here?<\/p>\n

\u201cThese attacks tend to have those sort of links that are clearly intended to be symbolic. It can be a coincidence, but I don\u2019t think so,\u201d Harneis added.<\/p>\n
