Isil fundraiser flees UK despite terror watch
EXCERPTS:A senior fundraiser for Islamic State under a strict counter-terrorism order has managed to flee the UK to join jihadists in Syria.
Mohammed Khaled, 45, who lived in west London, had been placed on a terror sanctions list and had his assets frozen. The security services believed Khaled was using his London base to raise tens of thousands of pounds for Isil.

More than 400 jihadists, who fought in Syria and Iraq and have since returned to the UK, are still free to continue using their bank accounts, despite the fact they will have been identified by security services as terrorists.
---
The French or possibly Belgian jihadist is thought to have slipped briefly into the UK and travelled to London, Birmingham and Kent, where he is understood to have met individuals suspected of being capable of plotting or assisting terrorist activity in Britain.
