       Berlin: European countries are starting to break down the barriers between intelligence and police agencies, sweeping aside concerns about civil rights abuses in hopes of combating terrorism more effectively.

       The agencies are starting to cooperate in what is being called “war rooms”’ state of the art communication centers, that allow police and intelligence agencies to meet and share information, such as live wiretaps, video or satellite pictures.

       The moves have been in the works for more than a year but have taken on a new urgency since terrorist attacks in Spain in March and the killing of Dutch film director, Theo Van Gogh.
