In this location, there may be no authorities we will work with; we have no army at the floor to detain those making ready plots; and there has been nothing to signify that Reyaad Khan might ever go away Syria or desist from his choice to murder us at domestic, so we had no manner of preventing his deliberate assaults on our usa with out taking direct action."
united kingdom Defence Secretary Michael Fallon informed united kingdom media Tuesday that the authorities could "no longer hesitate" to repeat the action if there has been no other way to prevent a fear attack in Britain.
