UK to Spend Over $36Mln on Counter-Terrorism Experts Abroad Over Four Years
The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) allocated 24 million pounds ($36.2 million) to increase the number of counter-terrorism experts abroad, the Spending Review 2015, revealed on Wednesday, said.
LONDON (Sputnik) — The FCO's Conflict, Stability and Security Fund will be increased by 19 percent by 2019-2020 in order to boost the UK's ability to respond to global threats, according to the settlement. The move is also aimed at stabilizing situations in Syria, Ukraine, Somalia and Pakistan.

"The FCO will spend up to £24 million over the next 4 years to increase the presence of its counter terrorism and extremism experts overseas," the FCO settlement at the Spending Review 2015 said.
The United Kingdom boosted its security and counter-terrorism efforts in the aftermath of such Islamic State attacks as the downing of the Russian A321 airliner in October and a series of coordinated blasts and shootings in Paris earlier in November.
