Britain has promised to step up its support for the rebels, hinting that it could be ready to send arms. But intelligence agencies have stepped up operations after a rise in the number of Europeans, notably from Britain, France and Ireland, joining fighters.

Mr de Kerchove, the EU’s counter-terrorism coordinator, said: ‘We are concerned, of course.’”
