The bloody uprising against Bashar al-Assad is creating a new wave of
jihadists in Britain, with Syria now the main destination for militant Muslims
wishing to fight abroad, The Independent has learnt.
Syria has replaced Pakistan and Somalia as the preferred front line where
Islamist volunteers can experience immediate combat with relatively little
official scrutiny, security agencies said.
The worrying development has been taking place as extremist groups, some with
links to al-Qa’ida, have become the dominant force in the uprising against the
Damascus regime.
