| UK bans SyriaÂ’s Nusra Front |
| 2013-07-20 |
| The British government said that it has banned Syria’s Al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, a move which makes membership in the extremist rebel group a criminal offense. Britain’s Home Office said the Nusra Front, also known as Jabhat Al Nusra, had been added to its list of outlawed organisations, a U.K.-wide roster of foreign and domestic terror groups. The government said on Friday that it considered the Nusra Front and Jabhat Al Nusra nothing more than alternative names for Al Qaeda, which has long been outlawed. The ban takes effect immediately. Last week senior British lawmakers warned that Islamists in Syria “currently represent the most worrying emerging terrorist threat to the UK and the West.” |
