Army wants more Muslim recruits
The Army is hosting its first recruitment drive solely for young British Muslims.
About 40 teenagers from Birmingham will be taught infantry skills and endure an army obstacle course.
The forces are suffering a shortage of recruits and have been unable to attract many from the Muslim community.
One of the teenagers visiting Gamecock Barracks in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, is Mansoor Clark, who said being involved in the initiative was about having fun.
