Funny, if you google "Europe terrorist attacks between WW2 and the late 90s." you get this: http://qz.com/558597/charted-t... (tl;dr: terrorism has been decreasing in Europe since the 70s, except for a peak in 2004 (Madrid bombings) and 2015 (Paris)). We've had Basques, IRA, Palestinians, extreme-left in Germany and France, extreme right in Italy... maybe you weren't paying attention at the time, but the current wave of terrorism is nothing new here, sadly.
