LONDON: Half of the major terrorist plots threatening Britain emerge from Afghanistan and Pakistan nearly 11 years after UK troops joined a US-led coalition to oust the Taliban, David Cameron said Wednesday.
But the Prime Minister added the number of terror plans hatched in the two countries had dropped in recent years.
Cameron said: "Britain has played a leading role in this alliance for reasons of our own national security. Three years ago some three quarters of the most serious terrorist plots against Britain had links to Afghanistan and Pakistan. I am now advised that figure has fallen to around a half."
Mr Cameron was speaking as he updated the Commons on last weekend's Nato summit in Chicago where he confirmed British troops - like other international forces - will end their combat role in Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
