My eldest is in Brussels due to fly home Thursday for the holidays. Fortunately nowhere near any of the mornings events. But those of you that are parents will know the feelings.

If by "attack" your suggesting something just remember people are actually dying.

Its to do with Europe but he can't say that so instead used a smokescreen.

Have any of you ever looked up her role in the Watergate affair?

All mythology talks of angels, demons, gods. Often taking other shapes.

I think he wants to resolve Ukraine first and secure the southern flank. That's dragging on too long. Syria was only ever a short term deployment and only a moron fights a war on two fronts.

Its brought assad a breathing space and he's taken back territory. The rebels aren't getting much help from the west. Is has been badly damaged. Maybe a ploy to pull back and see what happens next.

Correct. Within 24 hours they're bombing the Kurds. Who I don't think would be stupid enough to plant bombs in turkey. Not given they could be big winners in the peace settlement. The Turks though we know are ruthless.

Jfk was a world leader and probably one of the most popular presidents ever. John Lennon was one of the leading musicians of the last century. Hardly good comparisons to piers Morgan or an obscure band most people had never heard of!

Terrorism is about creating terror. Disrupting peoples lives, stopping business as usual. Slaughtering people by the dozen creates terror. Assassinating piers Morgan not as much. Its about creating the thought if we can get to them we can get to you. Articles on 7/ 7 come out every anniversary.

Which is why most Lon wolf bombs fail to off and AQ's roadside bombs were made by expert bomb makers.

I agree anyone *should* be able to stick a time pencil in some plastique. But the more complex the device the more the technical skill goes up.

Manuals on how to make a nuclear device are all over the internet but you still need certain engineering skills even if you have access to the materials.

Same with bomb making. I can give mr philby a shopping list for B and Q and garden centre and leave him the step by step instructions on how to do it but I'd prefer to be a few miles away whilst he does it. It only takes one mistake by an unskilled or inexperienced pair of hands. Of course the same applies with someone skilled or experienced but the odds change somewhat.

Personally if I was running something like that i'd want someone with some basic engineering skill doing the actual assembling rather than eager but unskilled volunteers.

If it was as simple as just downloading a manual off the internet, going shopping for kit, and tinkering in the kitchen, then given the amount of people out there with grievances against the rest of society then wouldn't there be regular occurrences?

Manuals are one thing but practice makes perfect. Just because I have a Delia smith cookbook doesn't mean I make great soufflés.

Would there stocks be pre 1991 semtex by any chance?

Car bombs are more of a psychological weapon. If we can get to his car we can get to you. And loud bangs gives the drama. There's more efficient members.

No because most car bombs are placed underneath near the fuel tank or on the exhaust pipe if your using certain detonation methods. The blast if directed in the right direction ignites the fuel. If it wasn't placed right and the blast went in the wrong direction i. e. downwards into the road it wouldn't do much damage.

To be honest most the of the ira are pretty amateur. A mixture of psycho thugs looking for a means to direct their inner rage, foolish naive boys who swallow all the horseshit about being soldiers in a war or wannabes on a power trip. And its been getting more amateurish as time goes on. Too be busy trying to control the drugs trade and become legitimate business men and/ or politicians now there's only a lunatic fringe of the truly amateur.

Sure some were/ are mi5 agents but most crime gangs are given a licence to operate by informing. Look at the krays or the American mafia. Similiar thing, granted business licences and immunity from prosecution in exchange for information. Strokes the egos of those who think their major players.

Was it placed correctly or even built correctly to start with.
