British would-be jihadists are making detour to Syria via Canada to avoid detection


Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has made a startling revelation that would0be British jihadists who want to join ISIS fighting in Syria are taking a detour via Canada in order to avoid detection.
He has said that these tactics are used by radicalized extremists to escape being caught by police and their actions were becoming 'increasingly sophisticated'. As a result, it becomes difficult for the security services to keep tabs on those who are determined to travel to the region.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 10 June 2015.
On a rough estimate, nearly 700 British citizens are believed to have travelled to Syria and Iraq and there are growing fears that they would return to the UK to plot terror attacks here. Incidentally, airlines operating in the UK have been asked to check all teenagers who are boarding flights to Turkey.
This action was taken following the case of three south London schoolgirls who had flown out of Britain to join ISIS. Philip Hammond had attended a summit in Paris with 20 countries to discuss how to tackle the rise of ISIS where Iraq's Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had claimed that the dramatic advance of ISIS is a combined failure of the world community. He went on to add that there is 'a lot of talk' about supporting his country but 'very little on the ground'.
