Baroness Pauline Neville-Jones, who also chaired the joint intelligence committee, told the Today programme's Mishal Husain that "it may become an offence" to go and fight in such conflicts,
Responding to a set of interviews with young Muslim men in Bradford, Lady Neville-Jones expressed concern about their stated desires to go to Iraq, adding that "the danger lies in what happens to them when they're there".
