Cameron to strengthen laws to prevent jihadists leaving UK

1 hour ago

New powers are needed to seize terrorist suspects' passports and stop British-born extremists from returning to the UK, David Cameron has said.

It was "abhorrent" British citizens had "declared their allegiance" to groups like Islamic State, he told MPs.

Powers to monitor suspects in the UK will also be strengthened in a bid to stop them leaving home in the first place.
