Hurdles slow Europe’s anti-terrorism efforts

The capture in Rome of a suspect in the London bombings shows the importance of cross-border co-operation to Europe's fight against terrorism. Osman Hussain, arrested on 29 July 2005 after authorities swapped details of his phone calls, faces fast-track extradition under EU anti-terror laws. But in spite of this capture, officials are asking whether efforts to increase pan-European intelligence sharing are hamstrung by bureaucracy and too many agencies.
