# Political Terrorism Struck Berlin, Lyon, and Greece by Gregory LoGerfo > "Secretary Rubio presented some tragic examples. In January, Berlin experienced its longest blackout since World War II. In February, a 23-year-old was beaten to death on the streets of [Lyon]. And a few weeks ago, a 72-year-old woman burned to death in a firebomb attack in Greece." > **— Gregory LoGerfo**, *Results from the Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism, July 2026* ## Sources and Context - **Direct source:** [briefing transcript](https://smallwarsjournal.com/2026/10/12/results-from-the-ministerial-on-the-resurgence-of-political-terrorism/). - **Source dossier:** [[research/Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism|Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism]]. - **Editorial treatment:** LoGerfo names three recent cases, their locations, victims, methods, and relationship to the ministerial's threat assessment. The published briefing transcript renders the French city as “Leon”; `[Lyon]` transparently corrects that apparent transcript error using Rubio's direct remarks about the same attack. ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment|Terrorism, Counterterrorism, and the Intelligence Environment]] - **Collection:** [[collections/American|American Culture Collection]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Gregory LoGerfo|Gregory LoGerfo]] - [[wiki/Counterterrorism|Counterterrorism]] - [[wiki/Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism|Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism]] ## Share on Social Media ``` "Secretary Rubio presented some tragic examples.
