Britain kills IS fighters in first drone strike

An RAF drone strike has killed three Islamic State militants in Syria, two of them British, Prime Minister David Cameron says Monday, the first time Britain has carried out such an attack.

“In an act of self-defense… Reyaad Khan was killed in a precision air strike carried out on August 21 by an RAF remotely piloted aircraft while he was traveling in a vehicle in the area of Raqqa in Syria,” he tells parliament.
