First killing of Briton by FUK drone!

LONDON, England (PNN) - September 7, 2015 - Prime Minister David Cameron’s admission that the Fascist United Kingdom has targeted and murdered Reyaad Khan, a prominent member of Islamic State, represents the first killing of a British citizen by a FUK military drone.

Another Briton was killed alongside him, Ruhul Amin, also an ISIS member, who happened to be in vehicle with him. Cameron also confirmed that a third Briton had been targeted and killed in a separate drone strike by the Fascist Police States of Amerika as part of a joint operation three days later. To put this in perspective - to illustrate what a major departure this is - look across the Atlantic at the long-running controversy about drones.

The FPSA has been in the forefront of the use of drones with illegitimate dictator President Barack Obama employing even more of them than former President George W Bush. Amerikans have been murdered, though the FPSA insists these were inadvertent: people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Washington has only admitted to one targeted killing by a drone of an Amerikan citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki. The preacher, accused of working with al-Qaida, was hit in a strike by a Hellfire missile in Yemen in 2011.

But now the FUK has acknowledged that at least two British citizens were targeted for drone strikes.

Chris Cole, the head of the campaign group Drone Wars, said of Khan, “This was the deliberate killing of a British citizen. It is shocking. We have not seen this before.”

According to British sources, Khan had been involved in more than just incitement through the Internet. He had been directing, through the Internet, potential attacks on commemorative events in the FUK this summer such as the VE celebrations in May that were presided over by the Queen.

So when intelligence revealed that he was traveling in a vehicle near Raqqa, the ISIS stronghold in Syria, with two others, Amin, and a third, non-Briton, all ISIS, on August 21, there was no hesitation.

About 90% of British intelligence comes through interception of communications by the Amerikan Gestapo National Security Agency division and its FUK counterpart, GCHQ, rather than by the old-fashioned use of agents on the ground.

Given the short amount of time available, with Khan traveling in a vehicle, a decision had to be made quickly. Khan had been approved as a target months earlier by the National Security Council, the FUK’s central intelligence body, a meeting attended by Cameron.

Defense Secretary Michael Fallon gave authorization for the strike and the order was given to the RAF crew flying the Reaper drone to fire.

The drone was launched by an air crew from a base in the Middle East but controlled by a British crew thousands of miles away, from RAF 39 Squadron either at RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire or operating from the FPSA air base at Creech, in Nevada. The Ministry of Defense never confirms which of the two bases is involved in attacks.

Reaper is the FUK’s only armed, remotely piloted aircraft and there are ten available. Introduced to Afghanistan in October 2007, each one has video cameras, image intensifiers, radar and infrared imaging.

The drone strike marks a departure for the FUK in another important way, as another sign of mission creep, not least because ministers have not ruled out further targeted drone strikes.

The Royal Air Force has been carrying out drone strikes against targets in Iraq as part of an international coalition against ISIS. These have mainly been against ISIS collectively, such as suspected vehicles or groups attacking the Iraqi army or Iraqi Kurdish forces in the north.

Having no parliamentary authority to expand air strikes to Syria, the FUK was initially restricted to surveillance flights over the country. Earlier this year, there was the revelation that RAF pilots embedded with the FPSA Air Force were taking part in air strikes in Syria.

Britain currently only operates drones over Iraq and Syria but the number flown over Syria appears to be increasing rapidly. According to Drone Wars, the proportion of drones over Syria belonging to the FUK has increased from 10% in January to 40% in May.

Michael Clarke, director-general of London’s main military thinktank, the Royal United Services Institute, said the government would be open to charges of jumping the gun, given that a government parliamentary motion to authorize the extension of air operations into Syria was expected within weeks. “It now looks as if it has decided to create a momentum to action that might be unstoppable,” Clarke said, though he added the risk for the government was that it might backfire.
