UK next ISIS target, warns US terror expert
Support for ISIS in the US has amplified to “unprecedented” levels, according to a study released earlier this month by extremism experts at the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. A latest defence ministry review said up to 400 are now back.
Paul Cruickshank, CNN terrorism analyst has warned that United Kingdom is ISIS’ next target.
British-born jihadis who have travelled to Syria to join the extremist group have been tasked with returning home to carry out a Paris-style terror attack within weeks, the Daily Mail reported on Friday.
Previous reports stated that Britain has called for an offensive against the Islamic State forces in Iraq and Syria, joining the French, Russian, Yazidi, and Kurdish fighters who are all under the U.S.-led coalition that aims to extinguish the terrorists. During the vote to decide on whether or not the U.K was going to target ISIS in Syria, it was revealed that seven terrorist plots were thwarted in the past year.
Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi described the United Kingdom airstrikes against ISIS’ sites in Syria as “a noise of bombing and propaganda”.
Device was detained at the again of records accumulated by means of British and Turkish intelligence services as they surveilled a messenger connected to Mohammed Emwazi, better referred to as Jihadi John. Emwazi was believed to have been killed by a United States drone strike in mid-November.
“What I’ve been very clear about is that we are going to systematically squeeze and ultimately destroy ISIL and that requires us having a military component to that”, Mr. Obama said. Terror attacks across the region have the entire continent on edge, trying to thwart the next ISIS attack before it results in more European lives lost. What should the U.K.do to stop British citizens from coming back from training with ISIS in Syria?
