(1 Jun 2014) The deadly killings at a Belgian Jewish museum, allegedly carried out by a radicalised French national, highlights the risk of Europeans going to fight in Syria, government officials said on Sunday.
Belgium's Interior Minister Joelle Milquet called for a holistic approach to stopping extremism and said European nations must "prevent the (extremist) phenomenon from setting off".
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said a meeting will be held on Wednesday between European interior ministers and their counterparts from Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco and Turkey to discuss prevention methods.
He also said legislation would be passed which allowed heightened surveillance of those involved in extremist activities.
The Brussels killings, which came on the eve of European parliament elections in which far right parties had a strong showing, led Belgian officials to raise anti-terror measures and raised fears of rising anti-Semitism.
Two Israelis and a French citizen were killed, while a fourth victim remains hospitalised.
Suspect Mehdi Nemmouche was arrested on Friday in Marseille.
