F-15 strike Libya from the UK
Well, well clarity:
Quote:
One of the masterminds behind last summer's massacre of British tourists in Tunisia is believed to have been killed in a US bombing raid on an Islamic State (Isil) camp in Libya......US F-15 Strike Eagle jets carried out the raid from RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk. Michael Fallon, the Defence Secretary, authorised the use of a British base on Thursday, while travelling back from the Falklands via Ascension Island.
Mr Fallon said: "I welcome this strike that has taken out a Daesh training camp being used to train terrorists to carry out attacks. I was satisfied that its destruction makes us all safer, and I personally authorised the US use of our bases.”
