Speaking on BBC television today, Brown said that battling what he called the "murderous ideology" of extremist Muslims would likely become a feature of the coming decade.
He said the international community has to be vigilant in every part of the world where there is a failed state or a failing state which creates space for a terrorist group to operate.
Earlier, Brown and U.S. President Barack Obama agreed to fund a special counterterrorism police unit in Yemen to battle what officials say is the growing Al-Qaeda terrorist threat coming from the Arabian Peninsula country.
The initiative was announced in the wake of the failed Christmas Day bomb attack on a U.S. airliner by a Nigerian man who has reportedly told U.S. investigators he was trained by Al-Qaeda operatives in Yemen.
