Lord Carlile: Let's boost anti-terror laws
LIB DEM peer Lord Carlile called on PM David Cameron yesterday to bolster Britain’s draconian anti-terror powers in response to the alleged involvement of a British national in the killing of US journalist James Foley.
The freelancer was decapitated in a filmed execution by a man thought to be a British member of the extremist group Islamic State (Isis).
