Video raises concerns of British Muslims involvement in Syria

None

An Internet video surfaced this week depicting a masked man in Syria with a working-class British accent, urging British Muslims to travel there and join one of the most radical Islamist rebel militias fighting to oust President Bashar Assad.

 

In the three-minute video, the man, wearing a black hood with eyeholes, loads what he says is a Glock 19 pistol with bullets he says come from the Free Syrian Army. British officials say that as many as 100 Britons are in Syria fighting with militants at any given time. (Reuters)
