Britain's home-grown jihadis

The radicalisation of young people in Britain and the ever-present terrorist threat.

The radicalisation of young people in Britain and the ever-present terrorist threat. There has been a security crackdown in UK airports following intelligence which uncovered a large scale plot to kill many Britons. The threat comes from UK-born Muslims, some converts. The programme looks at what makes such individuals become jihadis, with the war in Iraq seen as a major catalyst.
