Returning fighters from the Syrian civil war now pose greater threat than al-Qaeda terrorists in Pakistan and Afghanistan
by Christopher Hope and Tom Whitehead, Daily Telegraph, 11 April 2014
The crisis in Syria has emerged as the biggest threat to Britain’s security, The [Daily] Telegraph can disclose.
The threat to the UK from returning fighters from the Syrian civil war is now the same as that from al-Qaeda terrorists in the borderlands of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The increased risk will refocus attention on the decision by David Cameron - backed by MPs in the House of Commons - not to intervene as the Syrian conflict worsened last August.

excerpts from: Terror training in Syria makes attack on UK 'inevitable'
by Jonathan Owen, The Independent on Sunday, 6 April 2014
The danger faced by Britain and other countries from jihadist
fighters returning from Syria is "unprecedented" and a terror attack on
British soil "inevitable", experts warned last night. [...]
The threat posed by veterans from Syria is "unprecedented",
according to Gilles de Kerchove, the EU's counter-terrorism
co-ordinator. [...] The EU counter-terror chief praises Britain for having developed "one of
the best communication campaigns, which not only raises awareness of
the phenomenon and the possible risks related to it, but also offers an
alternative to those who want to go to Syria for humanitarian reasons". [...]
Raffaello Pantucci, senior research fellow at the Royal United Services
Institute, said: "It seems almost inevitable that some sort of a threat
back to the UK will come off the battlefield in Syria, something
supported by the fact that security services in the UK believe they have
already disrupted at least one plot with links to Syria."

excerpts from: Security chief warns of 9/11 Syria threat (*)
London Evening Standard, 25 February 2014
The terrorist threat caused by the war in Syria is unlike any Britain has faced since the 9/11 attacks, [...] top security official [of the British government Charles Farr] warned today. [...]
"Syria is different from any other counter-terrorism challenge that we have faced since 9/11 — because of the number of terrorist groups now engaged in the fighting, their size and scale, the number of people from this country who are joining them, ease of travel, availability of weapons and the intensity of the conflict."
