Radicalisation in Europe has been on the rise, especially among young people, EU Counter-Terrorism Coordinator Bartjan Wegter told Euronews, with Europe's security services now dealing with cases involving children as young as 12.
“We're talking about minors (and youth) aged between 12 and 20 years old,” Wegter told Euronews' 12 Minutes With, adding that a huge challenge for law enforcement is that young people radicalise very quickly. “Sometimes, it's a matter of weeks.”
