A resurgent Al-Qaeda poses a growing threat to the West as Islamic State is driven out of its strongholds, British Secretary of Defense Michael Fallon and security experts told media. They warn its branch in Syria, Al-Nusra Front, may be planning attacks.

“Al-Qaeda is still alive and kicking in Afghanistan, in Syria, in Yemen and elsewhere,” Fallon said, as reported by the Times newspaper.

“It has not been finally defeated and we are very conscious of that […] It is a very direct threat to the UK. Not just the [defense] ministry, but the security agencies are very much aware of that,” he added. He claimed that is one of the reasons the UK is keeping troops in Afghanistan, as Al-Qaeda has been setting up camps in the south of the country, where British forces were based.
