British terror pair killed by drone

TWO white British al-Qaeda terrorists - one said to have been called Steve - have been killed in a drone attack in Pakistan.

The Foreign Office is investigating reports that the two men died in a Hellfire missile strike by a remote-controlled US aircraft near the town of Datta Khel six days ago.

The militants, aged 48 and 25 and using the pseudonyms Abu Bakr and Mansoor Ahmed, were said to be in a vehicle in the mountainous region with two other al-Qaeda fighters at the time.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman last night said: "We are aware of media reports of the death of two British nationals in Pakistan.

"Our High Commission in Pakistan is seeking further information on these reports."

If the reports are confirmed, they would be the first white British converts to have been killed in the area.

It's believed they entered the country last year and travelled to North Waziristan in the lawless tribal belt bordering Afghanistan, to join al-Qaeda.

In September another British militant called Abdul Jabber, who was of Asian descent, died in a drone attack in the same area.

There have been at least 25 such strikes in Pakistan since September, killing around 50 people. The tactic has been stepped up as the United States attempts to tackle fighters who gather openly in Pakistani villages and compounds.

However, the strategy is not officially acknowledged by the CIA and last night Western intelligence sources were unable to confirm the reports.

good. The cleansing of the gene pool continues. Islam is a vile,barbaric, gutter religion for a vile, barbaric, gutter people. Both need to be wiped from the face of the earth.

Nice intel! To find one single vehicle, and only it, and be on target, ready.

Gee, it’s almost as if a couple of white wannbe saps were .....sold out.

Life is really, really hard when you are stupid.

Ya just gotta love the drones!! What a great weapon system!

But they beg the question: why are not thousands of them flying constant watch (and attack mode as required) over the inbound drug channels and the Mexican boarders???

Ask your congress critter...don't accept "spin"...demand a straight answer!

Mohammed, being a tool of the devil, has been playing a long-running trick on his cult members.

Here are some of the 72 virgins.

Instead of paradise, this is where jihadists go: a pig farm for all of eternity. Nothing to eat but pork. Nothing to do but tend to the needs of pigs for all eternity.

I wish they could carry iron bombs instead, though. Hellfire missiles are pretty expensive.

Oh well.

Seriously these guys sound like Harold and Kumar with high explosives

How long until the chicoms are selling drone knockoffs to every Abdul, Aziz, and Muhammed. After all, the chicoms just bought Teledyne's engine manufacturer for light aircraft engines. It wasn't for the booming general aviation market in China./sarc

You know, Teledyne the defense contractor?

I'm just guessing here.....I believe that the drone makers knew how "invisible" and useful the aircraft would be (and is). And for that very reason, an entirely different set of folks have developed ways to "see" and destroy them should the need arise.

At any rate....until that day arrives....I'd like to see thousands of them patroling the boarders and the inbound drug channels.

BTW, it’s not 72 virgins. It’s 100 virgins.

72 are female, 28 are male.

Muzzies just don’t like the 28 male virgins mentioned because they ‘allegedly’ are against homosexuality.
