It surprises me slightly that more onus is being given to a terrorist's family's feelings when so many other families have been left bereft in the most horrible way by their son's actions. I am not of the mind that they are involved in terrorism necessarily, but I am pro-them being questioned... which is what a lot of people on here seem to be against as they view them as victims. And I'd be surprised if that is either happening right now, or has already happened. And not just his family, all his friends too.

if the family have not been a part of this before I feel sure they're now helping with enquiries.'
This is an even bigger if...
The secret services are so named for doing things in secret I thought, why on earth would the public be privvy to anything they do?
The net would be closing in on him from the minute he was identified, naturally then his family will have been made aware and questioned nobody has any reason to suspect his family was anything but complicit in that. Had information had been leaked that those close to him were spoken to wouldn't that have just driven him further underground?
