Britons who have fought for Islamic State abroad should be hunted down and killed to ensure they never return to the UK, the defence secretary, Gavin Williamson, has said.
In the strongest remarks yet from a senior cabinet minister, Williamson suggested there was deliberate targeting of British jihadis by the armed forces targeting Isis as the group retreats in Syria and Iraq. The new defence secretary told the Daily Mail: “A dead terrorist can’t cause any harm to Britain.”
“I do not believe that any terrorist, whether they come from this country or any other, should ever be allowed back into this country,” he said. “We should do everything we can do to destroy and eliminate that threat.”

Wednesday 6 December 2017 12.59 GMT First published on Wednesday 6 December 2017 02.00 GMT Donald Trump will declare formal recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel on Wednesday, the White House has said, breaking with years of precedent and potentially leading to unpredictable consequences for the Middle East.
The region is braced for the prospect of unrest in anticipation of the declaration, due at 1pm in Washington, and US embassies around the world have been advised by the state department to bolster their security.
US government employees have been told to avoid Jerusalem’s Old City and the West Bank until further notice.
Analysis Why would moving the US embassy to Jerusalem be so contentious? Riyadh has spoken out against US threats to move its diplomatic HQ from Tel Aviv but will the president listen? Read more In his remarks to be delivered in a diplomatic reception room in the White House, Trump will base his decision on ancient history and current political realities that the Israeli legislature and many government offices are in Jerusalem. He will also order the state department to start the process of planning and building a new US embassy in Jerusalem, but White House officials said that process would take at least three years.
Until the new embassy is completed and opened, the official US mission will remain in Tel Aviv and the president will continue to sign a six-month waiver of congressional legislation that demands the embassy is moved, but only to spare the state department from budget penalties embedded in the 1995 act.

Trump names Jerusalem as capital of Israel.
The defence secretary has said these people will be hunted anywhere in the world, and executed, about time.
