The British government has in a surprise announcement revealed that Daesh militants in Afghanistan are communicating with cells in the UK and western Europe with the potential to carry out attacks. Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson has been quoted by media as telling reporters during a visit to Afghanistan that Britain must act to prevent an attack. Observers believe that although the rise of Daesh in Afghanistan has been well documented, it is the first time that Britain has confirmed the terrorist group poses a direct threat to its security.
