Foreign Secretary Hammond said the UK has not ruled out participating in coalition airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria. Defence Secretary Fallon urged other Middle Eastern countries, especially Turkey, to join the battle against the Islamic State, and said Parliament currently is not ready to approve joining coalition airstrikes in Syria; he also stated that the UK and the US cannot alone be the "saviors" of Iraq and Syria. Police have been given until Oct. 14 to question four men arrested in London on Oct. 7; one of the suspects is medical student Tarik Hassane, and at least one of the suspects had spent time in Syria. The four allegedly were plotting a terrorist attack on the UK. Mounir Rarmoul-Bouhadjar, who was arrested in October 2013 along with Erol Incedal, has admitted to possessing a bomb-making guide; the trial on terrorism charges was previously secret.
