If a terror attack was carried out by someone you knew, who would it most likely be?

It's the anniversary of 9/11 and it's probably a gloomy topic but when watching all those documentaries and historical videos of the hijacker's identities being revealed, I always thought to myself how those in the social circle of each of the 19 men must have felt. I think most families were in disbelief and even thought the FBI was framing them.

Take an imagined terror attack on Western Europe or even going back to 9/11, if you were told in advance before any confirmation that someone you knew or currently know: family, friend, acquaintance, classmate, teacher was involved in a terrorist hijacking, who would it be?

It would probably be the person who starts threads on the subject.

Seamus. It would definitely be Seamus.

He was always a scamp.

We've a neighbour who is former IRA. Spent 7 years in prison in the 70's for terrorist offences.

So I guess it'd be him.

My son is ginger, so I naturally view him as a little red bollix with suspicious intent. At 13 years old he a quiet kid, but with the red he needs to be watched at all times
