This report describes and categorizes the most typical terrorist attacks against train passengers and the passengercarryingrailway systems.Compared to other parts of the civilian infrastructure, including the transportation sector, public railway transportationhas been a relatively frequent target for terrorist attacks and threats in countries with active terrorist organisations.Furthermore, the railways have also been scene for a number of mass casualty-attacks, including several of the worstterrorist attacks in modern European history. These include the bombings of three train carriers in the LondonUnderground in July 2005, four trains at a railway station in Madrid in March 2004, at a Moscow subway station inFebruary 2004, and at the Central Station in Bologna, Italy in august 1980.The report emphasises that despite the wide variety of types of potential mass casualty attacks, most deadly terroristattacks have in fact occurred at the railway stations, and the most typical terrorist weapon remains a small bomb.

This report surveys in depth the available open source information about the ritualistic murder of the filmmaker TheoVan Gogh on the streets of Amsterdam on November 2, 2004. The report makes the case that the murder of Van Goghwas a terrorist attack implemented by an al-Qaida inspired radical Islamist group within the framework of global jihad,and not an act of religious violence by a lone fanatic. The report also argues that the invasion of Iraq was an importantmotivational factor for the assassin and his accomplices, in addition to grievances related to the Dutch government’spolicies concerning immigration and Dutch counter-terrorism measures.

This report surveys the motivations for Sunni Islamist terrorism in post-millennium Europe. It provides in-depth casestudies of four terrorist plots in Europe after 2000, attributed to Sunni Islamist militants.The analysis is based mainly on the press coverage of the investigations and trials of the terrorist cells. The aim of theanalysis is to determine whether these acts of terrorism should be understood primarily within the framework of alQaida’sglobal jihad, or largely as a spill-over effect local Islamist insurgencies or “jihads” in the Middle East and NorthAfrica, or as an emerging “European jihadism” motivated by grievances generated in the European Muslim diaspora.The report provides an overview and some general observations about the recent patterns of Islamist terrorism insideEurope. The appendix of the report contains a list of thwarted terrorist plots against targets in Europe attributed toIslamist militants. It also contains profiles of radical Islamist movements, which are believed to maintain structuresinside the region.

The present report examines the terrorist threat to Norwegian water supplies. The new threat environment in the post9/11era is explored and is followed by a global survey of nearly 50 terrorist and sabotage attacks against water suppliesduring the past thirty years, collected from various chronologies and databases.The study concludes that water supplies are only of marginal interest to most terrorist organisations. The study hasfound no evidence of any successful terrorist attack using poisoning or polluting agents against large water reservoirs.There have been a small number of poison attacks against local water supplies, however, and a slightly higher numberof bomb attacks against parts of water supply infrastructure.The study recommends that more attention should be given to vulnerabilities in the local distribution systems, primarilywith regards to buildings housing typically high-risk terrorist targets
