United Kingdom

Prime Minister Cameron announced a joint UK-US initiative to confront Islamist extremism both at home and abroad. Cameron said the UK will deploy additional unarmed drones in the battle against the Islamic State. Police are considering enhanced security measures to protect Jewish communities and police officers after “seeing continuing anti-Semitic rhetoric from extremists” as well as the recent attacks in France and the foiled plot against police in Belgium. Counterrorism police arrested an 18-year-old at Stansted Airport as she arrived in the UK, as part of an investigation of a terror suspect from Hackney.
