> ONE was an actual terrorist

I have the disadvantage of not being able to read the article, but the headline, at least, says he's a suspected terrorist, not an actual terrorist.

I know this was in western Europe, not the US, but in the US, the distinction between "suspected" and proven is really very important, because we have a strong track record of suspecting innocent people of being terrorists.

The same distinction applies in any Western democracy. That said, most European countries wouldn't go about tracking vast numbers of people - especially with such a deep intervention there will be courts involved before they are allowed to start tracking. So while the final evidence is not there there certainly will have been quite strong hints else they'd never have gotten the court order.

You are very right. Edited to reflect that.
