Air Stike Kills British Jihadist

[Gromit]

// Kamara (the Brighton Jihadist) is thought to have been fighting for Jabhat al-Nusra, an affiliate group of al-Qaeda, in Aleppo.
Jabhat al-Nusra has been fighting against both the Syrian government and Islamic State militants in the country's civil war. //

He was fighting the Syrian government and Islamic State militants. Both of who are our enemies in Syria.

Even if he is from another terrorist group, he is fifhting our enemies,
Why the hell are we bombing the people fighting IS?
Is it the usual US cock up of bombing our own side?
Or have we given up deciding whose side we are on, and are bombing everyone?

5 down many more to go sadly, if you are going to go to these places then it the risk you take, as my mother used to say you've made you bed now lie in it.
Any one going in to a war zone should understand it's a deadly place to be, I say that having been a few my self, if you don't understand the risk don't go. If you do go for what ever reason don't get upset or ask for sympathy when it turns pear shaped, which I will sooner or later.

I also think it's time people from out side the region are disowned by there mother country when they take up arms in these so called jihads.

Westerns are well out of date, nowadays, the enemy glow up red on call-of-duty (xbox), even when you call in an air-strike. That works

[naomi24]

He won't be coming back. Good.

brilliant, kill the lot of the filthy vile animals

Oh so Al Qaeda are friends of ours then are they?

They may well be your mates but they sure 'aint mine.

Yep, one less to worry about on his return.

There'll be few tears shed in AB for this misguided young man?

[SeaJayPea]

In 1936, many Britons went and fought an anti-fascist war in Spain. Many of them didn't come back. Was that "Good"?

[naomi24]

SeaJayPea. that's an argument which has been offered more than once, and it's nonsense. Unlike returning Jihadists, the people who went to fight in Spain posed no threat to this country.

[thegreens]

I am confused about who is allied to whom.
Is it a case, as in most things middle eastern, my enemy's enemy is my friend?

[SeaJayPea]

Sorry. Not all the people who've gone to fight against the Syrian regime can be described as anti-British. Remember that our government has been exhorting people in Syria to rise against the regime. For them to bracket all Britons who have gone out there to do just that as "jihadists" who are likely to start blowing up people in this country on their return is disingenuous, to say the least.

[naomi24]

So what method are you going to employ to sort the wheat from the chaff? This man has been fighting for an affiliate group of al-Qaeda – his own mother says he was brainwashed. Stop kidding yourself. Returning Jihadists present a threat to this country.

No one's allied to anyone. They all hate each other and us too.

[Jeza]

Oh dear how sad never mind.

[agchristie]

What a pity that he was allowed through on 'wrong' passport. Of course, it's all the airport's fault isn't it??
