"Above all, the EU tends to forget that this is not just Israel’s war. Iranian missiles, possibly soon tipped with nuclear warheads, can reach parts of the Continent. It’s in Europe’s vital own interests that the mullahs in Tehran and South Lebanon be defeated in this fight."

I think it was the Independent which suggested recently that the forces of darkness (obviously not that newspaper's description of those organisations) were working on setting off a dirty bomb in the City of London. Leaving aside the fact that the Independent engages daily in what is easily the UK's worst example of scaremongering yellow journalism, I do think that that scenario is far more likely, at least in the next few years, than Islamofascist nuclear missiles landing on European cities.
