Focus on 'mosques, schools and social media' - Shahid Malik

Is it really impossible to protect young people from being radicalised?

Talha Asmal, a West Yorkshire teenager who reportedly carried out a suicide bombing at an oil refinery attack south of Baiji, Iraq, is believed to have become Britain's youngest suicide bomber.

Shahid Malik, former Labour MP for Dewsbury and a friend of Talha's family, said the government alone should not be responsible for deradicalisation efforts.

"Rather than just looking at the government we need to look at other entities: mosques, schools and social media."

He discussed the issue with Lord Carlile, formerly the government's reviewer of anti-terrorism legislation.
