British forces launched a drone strike in Syria to kill three ISIS terrorists who had plotted to kill the queen and other members of the Royal Family by detonating a huge bomb at the country’s VJ Day celebration, Prime Minister David Cameron revealed Monday.

“There was a terrorist directing murder on our streets and no other means to stop them,” Cameron said about the lethal Aug. 21 drone attack — the first UK military action in the Syrian civil war.

Two of the cutthroats were Britons, he said, who had helped hatch the twisted scheme to assassinate Elizabeth, Prince Charles and likely hundreds of others by blowing up the 70th anniversary

They can take out 1 targeted guy with a drone, but they can't take out the group?

Good on them for taking action, but use the drones for attacks on ISIS more often. Take out their training camps etc etc.

It has actually. Before the airstrikes Isis were running amok. Their advance has been slowed and they are being pushed back in places.

Unfortunately the only way to quickly stop this thing is to get Western boots on the ground but the moment that happens there will be a huge outcry by the usual suspects.
 
VJ celebrations? I thought the Brits were conservative!!, Oh, wait.... my bad.

Interesting turn of phrase. I assume the Britons didn't intend on travelling along for the job as they are known in Britons from the videos they appeared in.

But it's the West that helped establish ISIS, so why would they go against it now? The West hate Assad, so there's no way they will help him destroy ISIS.

They did not, so just stop. mmkay?
 
Amnesty International will no doubt be outraged. Flagrant violation of another nation's sovereignty to murder your own citizens who are only misguided victims themselves.
 
Oh look, the 'Muslim community in Cardiff' are embarrassing themselves again...

I wonder what he was doing in ISIS...having tea and scones? :rolleyes:

The Muslim community in Cardiff want proof an Islamic State jihadist from the city was plotting a terrorist attack on the UK before he was killed by an RAF drone strike in Syria.

Cardiff-born Reyaad Khan, 21, died last month in Raqqa in the first targeted UK drone strike on a British citizen.

Prime Minister David Cameron said Khan was behind plans for "specific and barbaric attacks against the West," and the "act of self defence" was lawful.

He faces questions over the decision.

Saleem Kidwai, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Wales, said the PM's revelations that Khan was plotting an attack on the UK have come as a "shock and surprise" to the community.

"As the news spread around the community the questions are being asked, what information did the intelligence or the government have," he added.

Because the people who knew Reyaad Khan never thought that he's the kind of a person who can do something sitting far away from here."

A family friend of Khan's from Cardiff, Mohamed Islam, called for an investigation "to see the truth of this incident".

He said it was "very complicated, very sad and very hard" for Khan's family.

"It's a devastating situation for us as a local community," he added.

"In the coming days and months the members of the public would like more details."
