What follows is an abbreviated guide to what's available, how well it works and what some...
...Belgian and Dutch action did, however, net an unusual array of characters. Among those arrested was Frenchman Jérôme Courtellier, a convert to Islam whose brother trained at the Afghan camps and is currently in a French prison for terrorism-related crimes.
