The European Commission (EC) has announced plans to frustrate terrorism by
suppressing online guides on bomb-making.

"It should simply not be possible to leave people free to instruct other
people on the internet on how to make a bomb – that has nothing to do
with freedom of expression," EC vice president Franco Frattini said
yesterday.

Mr Frattini is "responsible for Freedom, Security and Justice."

When asked how the EC planned to suppress web bomb manufacture instructions
hosted outside EU borders, it appeared that officials planned to act at the
level of ISPs in Europe.
