Terrorism should be on our minds daily

Terrorism is a local issue. Unfortunately, many people see it as something happening in another country, or think the incidents here -- such as the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 -- are unlikely to happen again.

Children aged 13 groomed for terror

Sir Norman Bettison, chief constable of West Yorkshire, said some bright children entering secondary school were picking up extremist messages from internet chat rooms and people who wanted to turn them into terrorists.

His force has now identified at least 10 youngsters – including two 13-year-olds – as “vulnerable” and formally referred them to a programme to wean them away from radicalism.
