London, March 6 (BNA): Bahrain participated in a meeting with the Communications Working Group of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS in London.

She added that the challenge has escalated dramatically with the development of the capabilities of terrorist groups, the increase in their numbers and the diversity of their sources with the aim of causing harm to others.
Nevertheless, the Alliance continued its efforts, kept pace with developments, and raised the collective capacity to face challenges thanks to the commitment of its member states.

It is only through concerted and coordinated efforts, she said, that we can protect ourselves from these threats.
Jamal affirmed the Kingdom’s great interest in combating global terrorism, and said that the concerned national institutions are closely following the terrorist networks operating in the region and abroad, all of which affect our national and regional security.
She said that Bahrain renews its commitment to combating terrorism through its partnership in this alliance and to fight other ideologies that aim to threaten peace and stability in the region and around the world.
