欧盟在9/11事件25周年之际,对一股新兴的恐怖威胁发出警告。1 欧盟反恐协调员巴特扬·韦格特指出,一种由年轻人驱动的虚无主义暴力极端主义正在上升,这类暴力主要在在线社区组织,动机是寻求暴力刺激和获得网络名誉,而非传统的政治或宗教意识形态。1 韦格特表示:"这是为了暴力而暴力。"1
执法部门已识别出这一威胁的规模。1 警方在9个欧洲国家的6月至7月行动中发现了约4,340个与名为"The COM"的在线社区相关的网址。1 去年欧盟报告了45起恐怖袭击事件,造成6人死亡,486名恐怖嫌疑人被逮捕,其中约三分之一的嫌疑人年龄在18岁以下。1 虽然圣战组织仍占逮捕总数的70%以上、发起24起袭击,但虚无主义暴力极端主义相关事件在过去2-3年呈上升趋势。1 韦格特指出,85%的相关调查发生在数字环境中。1
这种新型威胁已通过具体案例显现。1 2025年,芬兰一名16岁男孩刺伤了三名女学生。1 意大利一名15岁男孩则计划犯罪以在网上获得名誉。1 美国高中辍学生布拉德利·卡登海德创办的"764组织"因涉及儿童色情和性犯罪而臭名昭著。1
The European Union has sounded an alarm over a disturbing new terror threat emerging a quarter-century after 9/11, characterized by youth-driven nihilist violence organized through online communities. Unlike traditional extremism rooted in political or religious ideology, this wave of violence is motivated primarily by the pursuit of thrills and online notoriety, according to EU counterterrorism officials.1
EU Counter-Terrorism Coordinator Bartjan Wegter described the phenomenon starkly, stating "this is violence for violence's sake."1 Police operations conducted across nine European countries between June and July uncovered approximately 4,340 web addresses connected to "The COM" online community linked to such activities.1 Wegter noted that 85 percent of investigations into this threat occur in digital environments.1
The scale of extremist activity across Europe has grown concerning. Last year, the EU documented 45 terrorist attacks resulting in 6 deaths and the arrest of 486 terror suspects, with roughly one-third aged 18 or younger.1 While jihadist organizations were responsible for 24 attacks and accounted for over 70 percent of total arrests, the emerging nihilist movement represents a distinctly different challenge.1 Recent cases illustrate the phenomenon: in Finland, a 16-year-old boy stabbed three female students, and in Italy, a 15-year-old planned a murder specifically to gain online fame.1 In the United States, the organization 764, founded by high school dropout Bradley Cadenhead, became notorious for involvement in child exploitation and sexual crimes.1
