This is a story about friendly fire...

Do you remember that book Where's Wally? (Where's Waldo? in the USA) You had to look through the packed crowd of people to find that one guy. I want you to find that one guy with the power to kill lots of people; you know who I'm talking about, right? You know who I mean when I say: the person carrying something with the destructive power to inflict death and injury on these innocent people? See if you can find them in this picture.

Give up? I'll give you a clue: I'm talking about policemen with guns or soldiers with guns. Where are the armed police and the army in this picture? See if you can find them.

While you're looking, why don't you see if you can figure out who's most likely to be radicalised and become a suicide bomber, just from the outside appearance of this group of random commuters? What are you going to do when you find them? Are you going to torture them to get them to confess to their bloodthirsty ambitions? Are you going to lock them up indefinitely in Guantanamo Bay? Are you going to drop them off, in the middle of a deadly civil war, in a city where all the buildings have been reduced to rubble?

Send me your answers on a postcard.
