British Prime Minister David Cameron has announced that the first airstrike conducted by the country in August in Syria killed two Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) fighters who had been plotting attacks on British soil.
Cameron told British politicians that Reyaad Khan had been targeted and killed in a precision drone strike in the country.
Cameron said the strike was carried out by a British Royal Air Force (RAF), remotely piloted aircraft in August and that two people travelling with the man, including another Briton, Ruhul Amin, were also killed.
Cameron said that this action had to be taken as there had been no other alternative.
