But in the way of all wars, the fight against terrorism spawned unintended consequences. For one thing al-Qaeda and other extremist Islamist groups proved to have deep roots. Crushed in their original haunts in the Middle East and unable to repeat their attacks on the US, many terrorists have moved their operations to Western Europe where they attacked British, French German and Spanish civilians
​

Answer 1

Part A: a place where a specific group of people used to stay

Part B: “proved to have deep roots”

Step-by-step explanation:

As can be seen in the paragraph shown in the question above, the word "haunt" was used in the sense of "to group," referring to a place where a specific group of people usually stays. This expression was used in the article to show how difficult it is to end terrist organizations when they are trapped, joined, haunted in the Middle East, where they established deep and difficult roots to be destroyed.

In this case, we can say that the detail of the paragraph that supports the word "haunt" is the detail that shows that terrorist organizations "proved to have deep roots" in their homeland.
