A report said that British jihadis have secretly gone to Afghanistan and have joined the Taliban as the group has taken over most of the country, including the second-largest city of Kandahar.

The Sun cited a senior military intelligence official who said that they have intercepted phone calls of terrorists with British accents. He said, “We have received some intercepts of two British men, probably below 30, talking openly on mobiles,”

The Taliban’s has captured the country’s second-largest city  Kandahar today in what is one of the group’s biggest military victories since it began the offensive in May. Unnamed security personnel said there was “intermittent intelligence” showing British men had taken up arms against the Afghan government. “We have no idea who they are. It’s difficult to put a number on it,” quoted by The Sun.

An official report stated that t the British men travelled to Afghanistan through Pakistan’s tribal areas to reach the frontlines. Days ago, Taliban commander General Mubeen was heard talking in a Facebook video about attending Birmingham University.

He said, “Many British and other foreign jihadists travelled to Afghanistan before and after 9/11 to fight there and, in many cases train, organise and then travel elsewhere for jihad,” He also added,  “The more gains the Taliban makes, the more it will encourage jihadists to carry out attacks at home and also head for Afghanistan,”

“If the country, or a large part of it, is permanently controlled by the Taliban it will again become a safe haven for terrorists as it was before 9/11. We are on the verge of a threat no less than that from IS at its height.” he continued.

It came as Britain said it would deploy around 600 troops to Afghanistan to help its citizens and interpreters and other Afghan staff leave Afghanistan. The UK defence ministry said in a statement the troops will provide protection and logistical support for the relocation of British nationals where required. Around 4,000 British nationals are believed to be in Afghanistan.

The US has also said it is sending an additional 3,000 troops to Afghanistan to assist in the evacuation of some personnel from the USe embassy in Kabul.
