British jihadists who fight for ISIS in Syria and Iraq are to be barred from returning home for at least two years to prevent terror attacks.

It is one of a series of new anti-terror laws being unveiled by David Cameron Friday, including powers to strip teenage jihadists of their passports and to bar airlines from landing in the U.K. if they fail to provide passenger information.

Mr. Cameron was due to make the announcement in an address to the Australian parliament. Britain must take action to deal with the threat posed by “foreign fighters planning attacks against our people,” he was expected to say.

More than 500 Britons have travelled to Iraq and Syria to take up arms with the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham, and around half are thought to have returned to Britain. More than 200 people have been arrested over alleged terror threats in the past year.

Under new “temporary exclusion orders,” the fighters in Syria and Iraq will effectively be rendered stateless. They will be put on a “no fly list” and allowed to return to Britain only at the end of the two years and only if they submit to strict conditions which could include a curfew and surveillance. The orders barring them can also be renewed after two years.
