And this is only one of the terrorist organisations operating in Europe over the last 3 decades. Not to even mention attacks carried out by the ETA, the Red Army Faction, the PLO and Al Qaeda across the rest of Europe.
But to some Americans they are still the only ones who experience terrorism, whereas the rest of the world only has to put up with a couple of bombs in some pubs and other such "minor squabbles".
Yet more reason to write some letters if you ask me.
