The europeans were so alarmed a the unilateral . Action that they did a number of things Jen Kins said. They expelled libyans and rounded up the usual suspects. As a result everybody has to Lay Low for a while among examples of recent terrorism Jenkins said Are rocket and mortar attacks during the eco nomic Summit in Tokyo and the gathering of the socialist International in Peru. There have also been bombings and rocket attacks in Spain and assaults on police in Northern Ireland.
