Bomb-making video used by Manchester Arena bomber Salman Abedi on mixing explosives is being shared AGAIN on Google
GOOGLE has AGAIN allowed a step-by-step IS bomb-making video to be shared on its networks.
The tech giant blocked the clip on YouTube after the Manchester Arena attack but it has resurfaced on other platforms.
The video, presented by a masked IS fighter, has been shared thousands of times by extremists.
Security groups called it “deeply disturbing”.
The tutorial, used by Manchester Arena bomber Salman Abedi, also shows how best to kill someone with a knife.
It features an ISIS fighter standing at a kitchen counter, as if presenting a cookery show, explaining how to build a bomb using common ingredients.
The video has been shared thousands of times on platforms such as Google Drive and Google Photos since it resurfaced a fortnight ago.
And it was still available, despite the Sun flagging it up.
The video features a balaclava-clad fighter identified as Abu Muhammad al-Muhajir, speaking in Arabic but with English subtitles.
It provides detailed instructions for creating triacetone triperoxide, an explosive linked to at least six terror attacks in Europe, including three this year.
It shows how to attach the chemicals and shrapnel to an electric charge. The presenter, who is dressed in combat gear, adds: “Then it could be detonated, by Allah’s permission.”
The 30-minute clip also discusses the best places on someone’s body to target for a quick killing.
It was removed from Google’s YouTube platform after Manchester suicide bomber Abedi killed 22 in May but was re-uploaded to its other platforms on November 22.
Extremists access it via links shared in secure messaging forums.
Security campaigners condemned Google for neglecting its duty to protect the public.

Counter Extremism Project director David Ibsen said: “What this deeply disturbing video's re-upload shows is that Google has significant gaps in its very recent effort to combat terrorist content online.”
Google insisted it was “strongly committed to being part of the solution to tackling violent extremism” but conceded it needed to do more.
It said Google Drive and Google Photos had clear policies outlawing violent content, adding: “We remove content violating these policies when flagged by our users.”
