A British fanatic killed by an RAF drone was plotting an atrocity at an event attended by the Queen

David Cameron stunned MPs yesterday by revealing the UK had used military force in Syria without parliamentary authority and against a Briton.

‘There was a terrorist directing murder on our streets and no other means to stop him,’ said the Prime Minister.

A second Islamic State fanatic from Britain, Ruhul Amin, died with the main target, Reyaad Khan, in the secret operation on August 21.

A third, Junaid Hussain, was killed three days later by a US drone in a joint operation with the UK. 

Stephen Marvin, a former school friend of Amin, said he deserved his fate. ‘It’s hard to say he didn’t get what he deserved in the end,’ he told ITV News. ‘He was my childhood best friend but he was a totally different person in the last 12 to 18 months so it was hard to sympathise with him.’

The revelation that Khan, 21, from Cardiff, had been assassinated in the first RAF drone strike against a Briton triggered claims of extra-judicial killing.
But Mr Cameron insisted the attacks were an act of self-defence and not a softening-up exercise to persuade Parliament to vote for further military action against Islamic State targets in Syria.
Some of the IS plots had been foiled while others were still active, he added.
Asked if he would do it again, the Prime Minister told MPs: ‘If it is necessary to safeguard the UK and act in self-defence, and there are no other ways of doing it, then yes, I would. The choice we were left with was to think, this is all too difficult, throw up our arms and walk away, and then wait for the chaos and terrorism to hit Britain, or to take action in the national interest.’
He said Khan and Hussain were orchestrating attacks on ‘high-profile public commemorations’ over the summer from the IS stronghold of Raqqah.
