Boomtown Rats singer Bob Geldof says that the younger generation is to blame for the terror attacks sweeping the world and conflicts in the Middle East. Speaking at the One Young World conference in Bangkok, Thailand, the frontman accused young people of having blood on their hands.

He said:

“This generation, your generation, is already stained with blood. Your age group are the killers of Syria. The people your age are murdering people in Beirut, Sharm el-Sheikh.

“And most immediately in our minds right now, those people who went to a pop concert in Paris, who tried to watch a football match, who went out with their girlfriends or their parents for a drink or a coffee, those people were killed by people of your generation.”
