Heres an interesting read - #-Link-Snipped-#

Two sociologists have studied 300 radicals to come out with this finding. An excerpt -
The simple explanation is that engineering happens to be an especially popular field of study in the countries that produce violent radicals. But Gambetta and Hertog corrected for national enrollment numbers in engineering programs and got similar results. Even among Islamic terrorists born or raised in the West, nearly 60 percent had engineering backgrounds.
What do you folks think?

    This is not much of surprise to me because terrorists need high-tech individuals too to break the incresing level of advancement in the technologies and high level security measures being invented everyday and being implemented

    So if they have to break into any country to destroy or do the damage they require specialists who can make it a cake walk for them

    And terrorists camps as we all know are the places where they do the brainwash of people to think like them, invoke hatred among them towards the society and finish any human inclination inside their hearts and minds.
