Devo aver perso qualcosa. Qualcun altro era a conoscenza di un potenziale attacco terroristico in Lussemburgo? Sembra che sia successo nel 2023, ma viene segnalato solo ora.
>Two right-wing terrorist attacks, one in France and one in Luxembourg, were foiled in the EU in 2023. The right-wing terrorist attack foiled in Luxembourg led to the arrest of a lone actor. In multiple online posts, the suspect expressed his will to acquire a semi-automatic assault rifle and a Glock pistol, allegedly inspired by the ‘Columbine School Massacre’
It’s quite concerning that such an attempted attack in Luxembourg went largely unnoticed until now. While it’s reassuring that authorities managed to foil the plot, it also raises questions about transparency and the actual level of threat in the country. The fact that a lone actor inspired by events like Columbine was able to reach this stage is deeply troubling.
At the same time, it’s worth noting Luxembourg’s stance on international security matters—especially its recent opposition to EU action in Rwanda. While other EU nations are pushing to ramp up engagement in Rwanda, Luxembourg is blocking efforts, citing concerns over human rights, governance, and the geopolitical risks of increased involvement. Given Luxembourg’s role as a financial hub and its history of strong diplomatic ties, this move could have broader implications for the EU’s strategy in the region.
This contrast—Luxembourg preventing a domestic attack while also taking a strong stance on international interventions—makes me wonder: are we seeing a shift in how the country approaches security? Should we be more proactive, both at home and abroad, to address these risks before they escalate?

There was some weapons raid in Strassen was there not?
Was that the ones in grevenmacher? Maybe not. Found [this](https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https://www.luxtimes.lu/luxembourg/europol-report-provides-insight-into-several-terror-related-arrests-in-grand-duchy/35035003.html) article (paywall removed)
