UK's SAS to target ISIS jihadists on 'kill list'

November 29, 2015 16:47

The UK's elite military unit Special Air Service will be sent to Syria with a hit-list of 20 top high-value ISIS targets, including a British woman dubbed as 'Mrs Terror', according to a media report.

The kill mission is part of renewed efforts to eliminate Islamic State commanders in Syria and will happen regardless of the outcome of Wednesday's vote in parliament, the Daily Express reported.

Sally Jones, a mother of two from Kent, who has made herself invaluable to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is believed to be among the targets.

Jones' husband Junaid Hussain was killed in a drone strike in the ISIS "capital" of Raqqa, Syria -- the same city where the US also caught up with "Jihadi John" -- in August.
