This question was answered on 10th November 2014
| ISIL is a barbaric terrorist organisation which has, in the space of a few months, taken control of territory in Iraq and Syria which is greater than the size of Britain. ISIL has acquired sophisticated military hardware, and is able to conduct traditional military operations as well as terrorist activity. The UK airstrikes and other action taken to date, shows the UK will play its part in standing against ISIL. Dealing with this threat will take time and patience. |
