MOSCOW Director of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) Aleksandr Bortnikov has accused Al-Qaeda of being responsible for starting wildfires in the EU. "One of the new techniques of Al Qaeda is starting large-scale forest fires in the European Union," he said during an international conference of law enforcement officials in Moscow, and added: Russian official: Al Qaeda starting fires in Europe "Forest fires in European Union countries should be considered one of the new trends in Al Qaeda's 'thousand cuts' strategy. This approach allows them to inflict significant damage on the economy and morale without any serious preparation, technical equipment, or financial outlay." This was reported by Russian news agency RIA Novosti. Bortnikov said that some extremist websites contain instructions on how to choose the best place for arson. RIA Novosti noted that forest fires have become an annual occurrence across Europe in recent years, "with southern European countries such as Spain, Italy, Portugal, Montenegro, Greece, and Serbia particularly hard-hit". The European Forest Fire Information System in August noted that 2012 had seen more fires early in the season, reporting 100,000 hectares consumed by fire by the end of March.
