RAF drone fires Hellfire missile to kill two Isis terrorists in Iraq

A BRITISH air strike killed two terrorists in Iraq last month, the Ministry of Defence announced yesterday.

The Royal Air Force (RAF) used a Reaper drone to fire a Hellfire missile at two Isis militants at a suspected weapons cache in Iraq’s Anbar province on August 23.

Hellfire missiles are made by US arms companies and cost the RAF around £94,000 each.
