    Now age is not a bar and all are capable to do these militant acts because of easy availability of knowledge and wide negative coverage of media houses

    18 year old ? What , where does he belong? No prizes for guessing. Terrorism has no religion. Name withheld by "secular" London police. The police and politicians of UK are being trained by Indian leftists and Congressi filth. Embrace the immigrants an this is what you get. Good luck Europe..
