TERRORIST ATTACKS: PARIS, MALI, AND MORE

[HairOfTheDog]

^ Memorial in Barcelona for the 14 deceased victims of the terror attacks in Spain this week.

Spain is known as having some of the most dogged and diligent counter-terrorism officers in the world.

For over a decade, they managed to avoid attacks by radical Islamic terrorists, despite Spain's long Mediterranean coastline across from Morocco (making Spain an inviting entry point).

Spanish counter-terrorism agencies have arrested over 700 suspected terrorists since the tragic Madrid train attacks which left nearly 200 people dead in 2004.

Now, Spanish authorities are working hard to put all the pieces together and hold accountable everyone involved in this week's attacks, several of whom were teenagers.
