The head of Britain’s domestic intelligence service said that Afghanistan is becoming a hotbed for terrorism.
A British man was one of two suspected ISIS recruits caught while trying to enter Afghanistan this month.
Ken McCallum, the director general of MI5, said the service has evidence of terrorist groups regrouping in Afghanistan and recruits are travelling to join them.
In September Mr McCallum said that the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan would give a “morale boost” to extremists in the UK and that terrorist groups would begin “reconstituting themselves within Afghanistan and projecting the threat back at the West including the UK”.
