The former head of the NSA and CIA, Michael Hayden, has castigated EU secret services for being too fixated on privacy issues and for suffering from poor intelligence sharing in combatting terrorism, saying that those gaps led to the Paris and Brussels attacks.

Hayden said that last week’s Brussels bombings and the November Paris attacks – which killed 31 and 130 people respectively – can be explained by European governments’ failures to make their intelligence services work more efficiently.

In Paris and Brussels, terrorists could carry out their plans because European intelligence bodies were not cooperating with each other and paid too much attention to privacy issues, Hayden told the audience at a forum at the University of Maryland, according to Forbes.

“We [the US] are the glue for European intelligence sharing,” he said. “Europeans much more readily share with us than they do with one another,” Hayden added, saying that Europe should more often share critical data internally.
