Top Judge says Europe at high risk of terrorism
Why does he think this?

A. Because of Europe's liberalism
B. Because he just noticed a Muslim couple moved in across the street
C. Uh... Bill Clinton?
D. The Iraq War

If you said D, well, you are correct, you earned a cookie.

"The threat of terrorism in Europe remains very high due to anger over the Iraqi war and the growing influence of North African groups linked to al-Qaida, a leading anti-terrorism judge warned Thursday.

"The actual threat for Europe is high, very high indeed," Jean-Louis Bruguiere, a top investigator of Islamic terrorism in France, told a press conference in Madrid.

"The Iraqi conflict has nurtured the Islamic groups living in Europe," he said, adding that Iraq also remains a magnet for the recruitment of Islamic extremists.

Bruguiere said militants heading to Iraq are increasingly going with the goal to train, and then return to their home countries in Europe to plot attacks."
