TERROR VID AXED
Google removes bomb-making video used by Manchester terrorist in victory for The Sun
GOOGLE on Monday removed the sick bomb-making video used by the Manchester terrorist in a victory for The Sun.
The link to the shocking 30-minute footage was disabled and told viewers the content violated its terms and conditions.

But the internet giant only acted after The Sun revealed the video had been shared thousands of times among jihadi extremists over the last fortnight.
And Google refused to say if it was working with police to identify the extremists spreading the material.
The chilling content - which gave a step-by-step guide to building deadly improvised explosives and how best to kill a human with a knife - was re-uploaded on public Google Drive and Google Photo networks.
This was despite Google being forced to remove it from its YouTube platform in June after it was revealed the Manchester bomber Salman Abedi watched it when preparing his shrapnel-laden homemade bomb that killed 22 in May.

The video provided detailed instructions for creating a triacetone triperoxide (TATP) that has been linked to at least six attacks in Europe - including three in 2017.
Since being uploaded on November 22 it was been shared with thousands of jihadi extremists on pro-ISIS channels.
It showed a man standing at a kitchen counter showing viewers how to make their own bomb using common ingredients - as if presenting a cookery show.
But in a chilling difference, the man in the video was in a combat suit, black balaclava masking his face and slings for firearms.

The man concluded the tutorial by explaining how to attach the chemicals and shrapnel to an electric charge.
Speaking in Arabic but accompanied with English subtitles, the man says: “Then it could be detonated, by Allah’s permission.”
