David Cameron outlines new anti-terror measures to MPs

BBC:

1 September 2014

 

New powers are needed to seize terrorist suspects' passports and stop British-born extremists from returning to the UK, David Cameron has said.

 

It was "abhorrent" British citizens had "declared their allegiance" to groups like Islamic State, he told MPs.

 

He said the inability to stop UK terrorists returning home from overseas was "a gap in the armoury" but only pledged cross-party talks on the issue.

 

Powers to monitor suspects in the UK will also be strengthened.

 

In a statement to Parliament, Mr Cameron restated the UK's backing for US airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq and said he would not rule out participation in similar action in the future.

 

The UK's terror threat level was raised to "severe" from "substantial" on Friday.

Revealed: Islamic State's 'banker' was director of a private Muslim primary school in Birmingham

2 September 2014

One of the Islamic State terror group's key financier was director of a Muslim faith school in Birmingham, it emerged today.
Prominent Islamic cleric Dr Nabil al-Awadi, a naturalised Kuwaiti, was partly resident in the UK until last year, living in Brixton, south London.
Until February 2013, the Sunni was a director of the independent Al-Birr school in Birmingham, which was founded in seven years ago.

Dr Nabil al-Awadi, a naturalised Kuwaiti, was a director of the independent Al-Birr school in Nechells, Birmingham. He is believed to have close links to the Islamic State group

 

Now he is president of the Kuwait Scholars' Union, which has reportedly channelled tens of millions of dollars to the Islamic State and other jihadi groups in Iraq and Syra.

Earlier this month Dr al-Awadi was stripped of his Kuwaiti citizenship along with nine other Kuwaitis, after the state cited 'security reasons'.

He has also been accused by other prominent clerics in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia of using donations to fund the Islamic State.
