Armed Terrorists need 'deep change' to beat Afghans

Britain’s Armed Forces face a huge upheaval to counter the terrorist threat against the country, a senior defence minister warned today.

The role of the services against international terrorism and other threats will be looked at closely in the defence review which will take place after the general election, Bill Rammell, the Armed Forces Minister, said.

He warned that, while the Armed Forces needed to maintain their ability to fight a conventional war, a major shift in emphasis was imminent.

“We have to be prepared to consider deep and wide-ranging changes to our Armed Forces,” Mr Rammell said. More
