Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has launched an attack on “apologists” who blame the UK’s security forces for radicalising ISIS executioner Muhammad Emwazi, aka Jihadi John.
The Foreign Secretary criticised people making “excuses” for terrorists by attempting to shift liability onto the intelligence services.
“We are absolutely clear; the responsibility for acts of terror rests with those who commit them. But a huge burden of responsibility also lies with those who act as apologists for them,” Hammond said.
The comments come after advocacy organisation CAGE came under fire for alleging that harassment by UK security services of Muhammad Emwazi led to his radicalisation.
