Romania has ‘critically important’ role in tracking UK jihadis

The British foreign secretary says Romania is helping to identify and track British nationals who are going to fight in Iraq and Syria or returning from combat.

Philip Hammond tells The Associated Press that Romania had a “critically important” role in keeping tabs on such people, an issue he discussed with Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu. Hammond says some of the estimated 400 Britons who had joined the jihadis had transited through Romania, but he didn’t give an exact figure.
