“The Prime Minister said that Britain is now engaged in ‘generational struggle’ against al-Qaeda affiliates like the group behind last week’s Algerian hostage crisis, whose leadership is based in Mali. The National Security Council will today discuss boosting British assistance to the French intervention in Mali, he told MPs. Islamic militants who are threatening the government there raise the risk of ‘a new terrorist haven developing on Europe’s doorstep,’ Mr Cameron said. Mr Cameron also said that ministers could ‘look again’ at defence cuts and spend more on counter-terrorism capabilities and Special Forces like the SAS and SBS.”
