    I'm surprised you haven't heard of the Dark Web, pardew.

    They don't send bombs in the post, pards. They write articles about how to make 'em in your mum's kitchen. (I'm not joking)

    One of the problems we face is driven partially by the media and it's insatiable appetite for sensational material, unfortunately in our modern messed up world, any disseffected individual knows that he/she can claim instant fame by conducting these acts and claiming they're inspired by ISIS or whomever.

    Do not mistake me, I consider the acts that IS are actually perpetrating as truly evil and I am very afraid that we will ultimately have no choice but to rise up as a global community and crush them.

    In the meantime, it strikes me that alongside that effect and probably long after that effort has proven effective, we will still have to endure these types of attacks to society.

    Ho hum

    Do a bit of reading about the Dark Web, and you'll have your answer.

    Pards, it's kind of an online black market. Not accessible in normal ways and hard to close down/regulate.

    Also new technologies emerge quote frequently so for security services it's always an issue of how to catch up with what they're using.

    I've just watched the film of skydiver Luke Aikens jumping from 25000 feet without a parachute into a giant net in California. Astonishing. I did notice that he didn't say afterwards that he was yet ready for the challenge of supporting West Ham in the 2016-17 season.

    My opinion only but i feel anyone that commits murder suicide has mental problems unfortunately they are encouraged by extremest groups like IS & Al Qaeda to commit Jihad. This perverted sense of sacrifice for God (who in their right mind would think God would want anyone to murder other human beings Christian or Muslim ) is the overriding issue. Where is the condemnation from the most senior Shiite & Sunni Muslim clerics in Iran, Saudi, etc? I am sadly deafened by the silence (or the lack of reporting) these crazy people need to understand they are going to hell not the loving arms of 100 virgins and until they do unfortunately we will continue to see this senseless violence all over the globe. We hear from western politicians, the Queen even the Pope why not an Ayatollah?

    And Iran condemn them all the time, at least because they see them as their sectarian enemies.

    ;ok thanks Outcast could do with more publicity and some higher figures in the middle east making the same points

    Simon, I understand what you're saying because it's been underreported but the links above include the top religious figure in Saudi Arabia, thousands of leading figures in India/South Asia. The top religious authority in Egypt has also condemned them. There's not really a religious authority in the Middle East or in Muslim communities that hasn't.

    These groups grow on the fringes of the communities, not in mosques. Frankly, they're gangs and in France and the UK many of the people who went to fight were literally gang members. Do you blame a local community for not being able to take down gangs by itself? Police get a much too easy ride on this from the media because it's frankly their failure. Instead we get counter-terror policies that don't succeed and just isolate people/push them towards the door.

    Certainly under reported in the USA, TKS.
