“War on Terror”
- Full article:
The Metropolitan Police Service's Counter Terrorism Command published a statement following the release of video which apparently shows a British-accented ISIS jihadi decapitating kidnapped journalist James Foley in 2014. It read: "We would like to remind the public that viewing, downloading or disseminating extremist material within the UK may constitute an offence under Terrorism legislation." When challenged about this, a spokesman clarified that "Viewing the video could be taken into consideration if any other information comes to light", but on its own would not be prosecuted.[1]
