"The arrest of a Lebanese student on suspicion of having taken part in a stillborn terror attack on Germany's rail system, has forced the country to face up to the fact that it, too, is a target for extremists. The attempted terror attack and the successful arrest have triggered a debate in Germany over whether the country needs to beef up its security measures. Suggestions include expanding the use of video surveillance and even employing so-called "train marshalls," armed guards on trains. There are also proposals for an anti-terror register, which could be accessed by all security and intelligence services and which would ease the sharing of information. However, for some in Germany this smacks a bit too much of Big Brother." [Counter-terrorism]
