YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The collapse of the Syrian regime could lead to a resurgence of Islamic State (IS), with concern growing about the fate of camps and detention sites holding thousands of captured fighters.

Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation in the UK, has warned the evolving crisis creates the potential for a new wave of terrorism to emerge.

He told Sky News that the detention facilities in northeastern Syria "are holding some of the most dangerous Islamic State fighters".
