The intelligence services that wrote the dodgy dossier on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq were in charge of the operation. He was killed alongside another Briton, Ruhul Amin, 26.
One of the planned attacks, uncovered in a Sky News investigation, was aimed at last month’s VJ Day celebrations in central London.
It had to be a British bomb to “protect the national interest”.
Mr Fallon defended the move and said the government would use military strikes again if there was no other way to stop the terror cells.
Reacting to the news, Mr Muthana said he wants to see evidence explaining why the strikes were ordered and the nature of the alleged plot by Khan against the UK.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has insisted the Government would “not hesitate” to take similar action against others on a reported “kill-list” of Isis extremists.
“This is a deep shaking natural disaster that is changing our country and we have to get in there and do something now or these reverberations will continue touching more and more countries”. He suggested that the Government was likely to return to Parliament for a vote on formally extending air strikes later this year. David Cameron said the attack was carried out with the approval of the Attorney General, but without parliamentary backing. We already know there are several sceptics of military intervention on the Conservative benches – if this drone strike leads to them being joined by those concerned about the legal process of such killings the next Syria vote could fail like the last. I think so, unless he’d suddenly given up. The drone strike is doubly justified. They were Isil fighters and I can confirm there were no civilian casualties.
Cameron made much of uncovered plots. “To avoid any confusion – and to escape the long shadow of Iraq – we need to make sure this drone strike was legal”.
According to the “Evening Standard“, Mohammed Emwazi, or “Jihadi John” as he is referred to, is at the top of the list after he was filmed carrying out barbaric murders of a number of British hostages. “The Prime Minister is clear that it is important that people across the country understand the threat posed by Isil”. Only a week earlier, he had said that he was satisfied with a British policy that had taken in only 216 Syrian refugees from outside the United Kingdom, although 5,000 other Syrians have been in some form of protection since 2011.
He added the “act of self-defence” was lawful.
Pressed on whether he was in an observation room watching what happened, she replied: “I don’t think that is what the PM has been focused on in this approach”. Yet he should be very careful.
They were killed in Raqqa, Syria, on August 21.
The truth is that the world is a better and safer place without those psychopaths in it and it was a job well done. “I’m stunned by this action”, he told The Daily Beast. If the Attorney General did indeed advise that such a killing would be legal, this should also require the setting up of a Committee of Inquiry to investigate and report to parliament, as did Tony Blair’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003 and the claim that this was also “legal”.
Worldwide law allows states limited authority to kill.
