Sunderland terror suspect 'had bomb-making manual on his phone'
An engineer accused of using his Facebook account to encourage terrorism had a bomb-making manual on his phone, jurors have heard.
The shocking document found on Abdulrahman Alcharbati's mobile contained advice for bomb makers which included handling their device "gently and softly", like a "creature", while it is being manufactured.
It also warned against making any mistake while making an explosive device, as it "could be your last one".
Alcharbati posted 400 entries onto his news feed between January 24 and February 26 last year and a total of 110 of them referred to Islamic State or martyrdom, it is claimed.
Not really sure of the relevance of the second post.
Not a fan of diversity then?
From local company offering to help pensioners to some no mark caught with bomb-making literature on his phone, all in one post? What the actual ... ?Quote:

Mr Pawson-Pounds told jurors: "He said he condemned terrorism and posted material to discourage others from committing such acts, quite opposite to what the crown say his intention was."

Why is one older person dying every seven minutes during the winter?
Over the last four winters, according to the latest official figures, nearly 120,000 people in England and Wales have died of cold weather, or factors associated with cold weather such as a virulent strain of influenza. But campaigners argue that these excess winter deaths, defined as the difference between the number of deaths that occur each winter (from December to March) and the average number of deaths during the preceding four months (August to November) and the subsequent four months (April to July), have more to do with poverty than freezing temperatures. “Successive governments have simply ignored the problem of winter deaths among the older population and seem to have a policy of crossing their fingers and hoping things will improve,” says Dot Gibson, the general secretary of campaign group, the National Pensioners Convention (NPC).
And excess winter deaths seem to be increasing: despite last year’s mild winter, an estimated 43,900 excess winter deaths occurred – a rise of 140% on the previous year and the worst statistics since 1999-2000. Female deaths leapt nearly 150% in a single year, from 10,250 to 25,500 between 2013-14 and 2014-15. Poverty rates for women remain higher than for men, which compounds health problems: the thinktank New Policy Institute has reported increases in life expectancy for men, especially in the most deprived areas, are higher than for women. So women remain in poverty, while men’s life expectancy increases. Poverty among female pensioners is 5%-8% higher than it is among male pensioners, and poverty is highest among the over-75s.

I think Vlad is currently barred from the bear pit which is why he needs to meet his quota here.Quote:

I have printed this little gem of a thread before he deletes his posts in the morning.

Its a shame that the thread was immediately derailed by pointless trolling.
