US Fears Europe-Based Terrorism
One of the biggest threats to US security may now come from within Europe, US Homeland Security head Michael Chertoff has told the BBC.
He said militant attacks and plots in Europe over recent years had made the US aware of the "real risk that Europe will become a platform for terrorists".
Mr Chertoff said it was likely security checks on travellers from Europe would be increased.

Is he thinking of overturning the Visa waiver policy?
The 9/11 murderers had their cells in place in the US. How many of them were exempted because of visa waiver? I don't think any. Yes, Atta lived in Germany but I do not believe that he was EU citizen and would then have needed a regular visa. 9/11 did not occur because the US did not know who was in the US. They knew who was in the US but did not do anything about it.
