A U.N. panel says the threat of foreign jihadi fighters traveling to countries such as Iraq and Syria is a fluid and rapidly-changing problem and the response of governments must be stepped up.

Jean Paul Laborde, executive director of the Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Committee, told reporters Tuesday the threat posed by such foreign fighters is global and the world's response must involve all levels of society.

Laborde spoke after ministers and representatives from some 70 countries met in Madrid to discuss ways of stemming the flow of foreign fighters and countering their recruitment.
