Why let them back?
Britain's governing coalition has agreed that potential Jihadis who return to Britain from abroad should be forced to undergo a de-radicalisation programme when they arrive back in the UK.
The proposal is one of a series of measures agreed by the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats who form Britain's coalition government. Also proposed is a new law to force airlines to share full passenger lists with police and security agencies, and plans to temporarily suspend to passports of UK citizens fighting for ISIS, preventing them from coming home.
According to the Sun, talks over the measures were "tense" and going on well into the night last night, ahead of the Prime Minister's emergency statement in the House of Commons this afternoon.
The proposals come after the UK's offical terror threat level was raised last week to severe, meaning that an attack is "highly likely". Security sources have also said that there is a risk that ISIS sympathisers may perform a "marauding terrorist firearms attack" (MTFA), which involves opening fire in a crowded place with automatic weapons.
