with the recent attacks in paris and istanbul and in brussels. the move might very well be partly a consequence of the setbacks that isis suffered in its core constituency, but that is no solace for the families of the victims and european citizens who are now learning to live with that threat. the whole of europe is targeted, not only istanbul due to the proximity of the syrian theater. it's not only paris. it's not only brussels. it's pretty much the whole of the continent. networks and procurement lines spread across borders, as shown in the case of the paris attacks. plots have been foiled across the continent and other cities, london, mentioned as potential targets in isis propaganda. youth citizens have also been targeted outside their home countries, british tourists in tunisia or german tourists in istanbul. unfortunately, it is very likely that there will be more attacks and the worst might be to come. the brussels attackers contacted civilians operations linked to belgium's nuclear program, and the french government officials have repea
