The EU's security commissioner said on Saturday he believed suicide bombings in London in July were likely to have been the work of groups linked to al Qaeda and warned more attacks in Europe were to be expected.
Franco Frattini, the European Union's commissioner for justice and security, said he would look at guidelines for action to prevent and fight terrorism at a European Parliament session next week and has said efforts to create an EU-wide intelligence network should be agreed next week. He told Reuters the data collection proposal would be on the agenda of a meeting of EU interior and justice ministers in the English city of Newcastle next week.
