Cameron announces National Memorial for British terror victims killed overseas

Prime Minister David Cameron has announced that a new National Memorial for British citizens killed in terror attacks overseas will be unveiled by Summer 2017. Cameron made the announcement at the NATO summit in Warsaw, where he added that the memorial would be located at the National Memorial Arboretum, part of the Royal British Legion in Staffordshire. The commemorative monument is intended to honour victims of terrorist atrocities overseas, on British soil. The news comes after the Sousse attack in 2015, which was the worst incident of terrorism involving British citizens since the 7/7 attacks in London. Cameron commented: “These memorials will be places where the family and friends of people killed in terrorist attacks can reflect and remember. By building them we are underlining our pledge to never forget the victims of these atrocities. “An attack on British people anywhere in the world is an attack on us all. But these memorials will also stand as proof that we will not give up our way of life in the face of terrorism wherever it may be.”
