British authorities arrest terrorists who fought in Syria

Amid a state of media blackout, British authorities arrested a group of terrorists who participated in the fighting in Syria. Special informed sources from London revealed to the Palestinian al-Manar newspaper that the British security forces arrested early June a group of 11 terrorists in London who had come back from Syria where they were involved in the fighting there. The sources noted that the group\'s members held meetings in Britain and were carrying out suspicious activities, which led to their arrest. A number of American and European officials recently warned of the danger of the European gunmen who are involved in the fighting in Syria once they return to their home countries having acquired a great combat experience. Those gunmen are fighting within the ranks of the armed terrorist groups coming into Syria across Turkey and funded by the Gulf money. Al-Manar newspaper quoted the British sources as saying that four of the arrested terrorists carry the German and Belgian nationalities. Britain, along with its partner France, have embraced the European project to supply the terrorists in Syria with arms and sought hard to recently lift the embargo on providing weapons to the \"armed opposition\". Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, recently warned British Prime Minister David Cameron in an article of the gravity of the step to arm the \"opposition\", saying such a move would be catastrophic as Britain would be pushing forward with the weapons falling in the hands of extremist members of al-Qaeda. In the same context, Belgian Interior Minister, Joëlle Milquet, recently announced the arrest of four Belgians in Turkey who were preparing to infiltrate into Syria and fight along the terrorist groups. The number of Belgian terrorists who went to fight in Syria is estimated at 80-100.
