LONDON – Prime Minister David Cameron warned on Monday that Islamic State militants based inSyria and Iraq were planning specific attacks against Britain, saying they posed an existential threat to the West. "There are people in Iraq and Syria who are plotting to carry out terrible acts in Britain and elsewhere and as long as ISIL (Islamic State) exists in those two countries we are at threat," Cameron told BBC radio.
