This could happen everywhere. The responsible chose London as his target, perhaps pretending a sort of vengeance for the recent attacks with vehicles and knives.
He copied also the criminal methods. That's one reason to call it terrorism, because spreads an environment of terror.
Today I've learned that exists an "European civil protection mechanism" and could be used to coordinate aid from other member states to Portugal to fight fires. I still think that they need the better means.
The European Solidarity Fund allows structural funds to be used and the European Union could contribute 95% to the reconstruction, has been said. They could invest in a Jumbo Tanker, if money's not the problem.
What happens in Portugal can happen in any south european country this summer.
This is not what I have read. Although the official hypothesis points to lightning, a spokesman for the Fire Brigade estimates that up to 75% of fires in Portugal are intentionally provoked.
Many portuguese forests have been replanted with eucalyptus trees, especially susceptible to the flames.
A 48-year-old man was wrestled to the ground by members of the public and then arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder, London's Metropolitan police said. He shouted he wants to kill all muslims.
No matter what the motivation proves to be, this is being treated as a terrorist attack and the counter-terrorism command is investigating.
This contributes to the terror created by previous car attacks.
These late years have been large fires in Spain, Portugal, Greece. Perhaps the europeans might have an international coordination to join forces when needed.
Six planes and 200 Spanish soldiers help fight fire in Portugal. Italy sent two planes and France three.
These are the Canadair/Bombardier models and Air Tractor, all widely used against fires.
I think that the southern european countries should have bigger planes as the Boeing 747-400 SuperTanker, that carries much more water to fight big fires.
Perhaps the European Union is not interested because it's not made in the EU.

Spain and Portugal are in summer heatwave, and the dry vegetation is like tinder.
