British Prime Minister David Cameron said today at the summit of the leaders of the Group of Seven most industrialized countries (G7) in Germany that he will send more than 100 British soldiers to Iraq to help fight against the terrorist organization Islamic State.
Cameron said that 125 soldiers will be sent to Iraq, the "Telegraph" reported, stating that this means that a total of 900 British soldiers will be engaged in the fight against the Islamic State in the Middle East.
"The Telegraph" stated that British soldiers in Iraq will be deployed to military bases throughout the country and will not participate in combat missions.
Cameron made this decision at the request of Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi.
At least 700 British fighters, including many students and teenagers, have gone to Syria and Iraq to fight with the Islamic State. Of them, about half returned to Britain, "Telegraf" adds.
The British newspaper says that special forces and intelligence agents are looking for the most wanted of those fighters, Mohamed Emwazi, a former Lodno student known as "Jihadi John", who executed several hostages from Western countries.
