ISIS terrorists killed by a UK drone

[FatLazyContractor]

Its quite interesting when you read all these reports about so-and-so in command being killed, etc. How do they know that they killed them? Do ISIS send out a press release?

Yes. Al Jazeera.

The UK death penalty has been debated by parliament many times, but we don't have it, not even for the worst murderers or terrorists, and not even after they've been given a fair trial and convicted of actually committing a deadly crime.

How can it be okay for the UK government to execute someone without trial and because of what the they think someone might be planning to do?

We should have the death penalty for terrorists.. these people are cowards who take the fight to innocent civilians.

In this case the government did exactly the right thing, given intel that these scum represented a clear and present danger to the British population. What would you have done, send a policeman to try and arrest them?

British military and intelligence forces risk their lives to try and keep people like you safe...

Yes. BBC news

The victims of the 1993 World Trade Center bombings sued the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for damages. A decision was handed down in 2006, assigning liability for the bombings to the Port Authority. The decision declared that the agency was 68 percent responsible for the bombing, and the terrorists bore only 32 percent of the responsibility.

Send in the drones to kill the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey!

Rookie mistake, they should have whispered the details to US and let them blow the suckers up.

Quite they should have sent a bailiff to serve a summons on him

One news analyst was suggesting last night that the US have been getting a bit fed up doing our dirty work in Syria when we are perfectly capable of doing it ourselves.

This is not just sending a message to our home-grown terrorists, but also to the US that we are serious.

Shouldn't we have sent this chap then ?

I am sure they were guilty. And I believe in WMDs, the tooth fairy and multiverses.

The UK should not act as judge, jury and executioner. And we should not get involved in overseas wars - we only make things worse.

Its the thin end of the wedge. Next terrorists will be executed in the UK. Then it will be people who dare to question the government.

Same with S58. CUK crowd say we are guilty. Then HMRC come after CUK and the whining begins.

Personally I would like to see a drone attack on anyone who supports this action...

You have a point if the government really cared about security they'd be flying reaper drones over Luton, and taking out the bad guys whilst they're still at the Four Lions stage
