ISIS still a serious threat

Islamic State poses a challenge to all countries in the world, while rival terrorist group al Qaeda is resurgent and could be plotting attacks in Europe, the UK’s security minister said.

The group’s ability to use the internet to attract recruits and inspire attacks enables its global reach.

Ben Wallace said the IS threat in the UK is “dangerous” and becoming more unpredictable following the collapse of the group’s self-proclaimed caliphate in Iraq and Syria this year.

He also said 250 Britons, including fighters aligned to IS, remain in the two countries. A number of these individuals have been detained in camps but others are still at large.
