The RAF has killed three ISIS militants in Syria, among them two Britons including one plotting 'murder on our streets', David Cameron revealed today.
In a dramatic Commons statement, the Prime Minister revealed the target of the RAF drone strike in the ISIS capital of Raqqa was Reyaad Khan, 21, from Cardiff.
Khan, who is believed to have arrived in Syria in 2013, was accused of being behind murderous plots on the streets of Britain and there was 'no other means to stop him'.
But Mr Cameron was forced to defend launching military action without asking for MPs' approval in advance.

"......of English descent" my foot, both are clearly arabs, at best they were born in Britain, but they are NOT English.
So whats the problem, they are enemies in the field of combat and got killed. I have no problem with it like I had no problem killing Awlaki, they are enemies and you kill enemies.
