<p>The UK is deeply concerned by reports of the abduction of Kurdish children by the
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Such actions are utterly appalling and
we call for their immediate release. These actions demonstrate to the world the true
nature of this vicious terrorist organisation.</p><p>Tackling extremists in Syria
is a priority, and we are stepping up our support for the moderate opposition groups
who are fighting them, and helping the neighbouring countries respond to this growing
security threat. Finding a political settlement to the crisis is more pressing than
ever, so that groups such as ISIL cannot take advantage of the conflict to expand
their influence.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
