I am all for these guys getting some real fight back against them, they deserve hell .
I don't really trust the British government meddling further over there.
The evidence is out there that shows the US, UK, Jordan, Saudi etc created ISIS in the first place, and we all know the target is Syria (or Assad) then Iran, lets not kid ourselves we are on the good side.
Like there is a good side.

Cameron wants to make his mind up...arms them, funds them, encourages them to take down Assad, then *poof* as if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared and declared that now they're the new enemy...just as i predicated a while back.

I am quite aware of the groups fighting, don't make assumptions about my knowledge please.

As I am sure you are aware, for the most part the lines are very blurred between the groups.

Also members of the Saudi leadership do support ISIS financially and many commanders and fighters are Saudi.

And as for the evidence, the points I stated are well known and factual, easily verifiable with a quick search, I don't have to waste my time reposting links every time someone disagrees with me, this ain't my thread - this is what I know to be true, all in all it's a right mess - and if the US and allies (or the financial interests that dominate the policy of these countries) didn't benefit from meddling over there, then someone else would.

I saw this as well and chose not to post it because i could have swore i read about this a few months ago.
could be wrong.
Regardless, I think this operation may be very similar to the work E-Squadron were doing during Operation Ellamy during the Libyan conflict of 2011 along with some direct hits against ISIS and assist the RAF in targeting ISIS.
Interesting story, but lets all face it, its not surprising, there are reports of UKSF having been operating in and around Syria since the earliest days of the Syrian civil war.
