‘New phase in Qaeda operations’
London, January 24: The bid to blow up a US plane marks a “new phase” in al-Qaeda’s campaign against the West, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on Sunday, before this week’s London talks on Afghanistan and Yemen.
Miliband also said there remained a “very real” danger from violent extremists who will “stop at nothing” after Britain raised its terror threat assessment level from substantial to severe on Friday.
