Leaving EU could spark more ISIS attacks in Europe, military chiefs claim

Thirteen former Royal Navy, Army and RAF officials made the bold claim in a letter backed by Downing Street.

It comes just days after David Cameron revealed a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU will be held in June.

The chiefs said: "In the forthcoming referendum, therefore, we are particularly concerned with one central question.

"Will Britain be safer inside the EU or outside it?

"When we look at the world today, there seems to us only one answer."

They went on to highlight "grave security challenges" faced by Europe including ISIS and Russian "aggression".

They said: "Britain will have to confront these challenges whether it is inside or outside the EU. But within the EU, we are stronger."

The letter was signed by top military officials including Field Marshal Lord Bramall and General Sir Michael Rose.
