Citing terrorism as one of the country's growing threats, British Prime Minister David Cameron said Monday that its military needs more drones. Cameron said he requested that British defense heads contemplate improving quick-response counterterrorism capabilities like "spy planes, drones, and special forces." Cameron and other British ministers have also suggested recently that the country expand its fighter jet reach to Syria after successfully striking targets in Iraq. Last week, British Treasury chief George Osborne committed 2 percent of the U.K.'s national income to defense. In other drone-related news, the U.S. is reportedly attempting to place drones at a base in Northern Africa in an effort to keep an eye on the Islamic State group in Libya. However no country has agreed to house the drones. Also, the flight of drones over the Michigan statehouse has been forbidden following a unanimous vote Monday by the Michigan State Capitol Commission.
