SAS hit squad on its way to Iraq to hunt down and eliminate ISIS leaders

Since the ISIS militants have become knowledge on how to avoid airstrikes, a decision has been taken to dispatch nearly 60 SAS fighters to Iraq to hunt down and eliminate Islamic State leaders – one of the primary targets is believed to be Jihadi John, the Briton who is supposed to have killed British and American hostages in a series of gruesome executions.
The SAS squadron from Hereford was supposed to travel to Afghanistan to hunt Taliban leaders but have been ordered to proceed to Iraq and turn their attentions on ISIS.
As indicated by a senior Whitehall source, some good early progress had been made against IS but they know how to avoid the jets now and, the only to defeat them is to get up close to them on the ground. Moreover, while hunting for top Islamic State leaders on the ground, they will also help to pinpoint targets for air strikes.
This revelation has come a month after it had been revealed in the media of how SAS troops with sniper rifles and heavy machine guns had killed hundreds of Islamic State extremists in a series of deadly quad-bike ambushes inside Iraq. It seems soldiers from this elite fighting unit had eliminated ‘up to eight terrorists per day’ in the daring raids, carried out during the past four weeks. The method was to airdrop small groups of soldiers into IS territory in RAF Chinook helicopters so that they could take on the enemy. The targets used to be identified by drones operated either from an SAS base or by the soldiers themselves on the ground using smaller devices.
