Targeting Teens

It seems like terrorists are now preying on society's most impressionable. Check out this article from the Wires published in the New York Post:

Britain's terror teens

Terrorists are recruiting British kids as young as 15 to carry out attacks on native soil, Britain's domestic spy chief warned yesterday.
Jonathan Evans, director-general of M15, Britain's counterintelligence agency, said, "Terrorists are methodically and intentionally targeting young people. They are radicalizing, indoctrinating and grooming young, vulnerable people to carry out acts of terrorism. This year we have seen individuals as young as 15 and 16 implicated in terrorist-related activity."
He also disclosed that M15 knows of at least 2,000 British-based people who pose "a direct threat to national security. And we suspect that there are as many again that we don't yet know of."
