But
Hi.
"Shiraz Maher, a senior fellow with the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation at King’s College London, told the newspaper: “Many Britons have made it clear they intend to stay in Syria and seek martyrdom but they are young and angry and that motivation could mutate and one day they could return to attack the West.”" [From The Independent.]
Is "but" a conjunction, preposition or an adverb in the context, and if it is a conjunction, does it mean "and"?
Thank you?
