United Kingdom

One day after the British military was authorized to join the international coalition’s airstrike campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq, two Cyprus-based Tornado jets have completed a reconnaissance mission. Trevor Brooks a.k.a. Abu Izzadeen, a convicted terrorist from east London who is one of 11 Islamists arrested on Sept. 25 and 26, was charged with lying about his whereabouts to authorities; the other 10 men, including extremist cleric Anjem Choudary, have been released on bail until January. Choudary claimed that the UK’s entry into the coalition against the Islamic State has “pulled Britain into a very bloody war that will have manifestations on the streets of London.”
