Elite British and US special forces troops are forming a hunter killer unit called Task Force Black – its orders: “Smash the Islamic State.”

The undercover warriors will aim to “cut the head off the snake” by hitting the command structure of the Islamist terror group responsible for a trail of atrocities across Iraq and Syria, reports the Sunday People.
PM David Cameron has told the SAS and UK spy agencies to direct all their ­resources at defeating IS after a video of US journalist James Foley being beheaded shocked the world.

British special forces will work with America’s Delta Force and Seal Team 6. The move sees a rebirth of top secret Task Force Black, which helped defeat al-Qaeda terrorists in Iraq .

This time the counter-terrorist ­experts will be targeting Abu Bakr ­al-Baghdadi, leader of IS and now the world’s most wanted terrorist.

A source said: “We need to go into Syria and Iraq and kill as many IS members as we can. You can’t ­negotiate with these people.

“This is not a war of choice. They are cash rich and have a plentiful ­supply of arms. If we don’t go after them, they will soon come after us.

The new task force will comprise a squadron of the SAS, special forces aircrews from the RAF and agents from MI5 and MI6.

The operation will be led by America’s CIA spy agency.

well if we are going to fight this is they way. Pound them with airstrikes constantly and take out the heirarachy.

Mass invasions with half a million troops is not the answer.

Had the Shrub been willing to actually fight the proven threat way back when
(rather than protect the oil interests) we wouldn't have this fight today.

I rather wish that the news of this group was kept a secret, so ISIS would not know they were coming.

The Brits are discussing this openly, and I don't think it takes a genius to predict this would be coming. After all US has had special forces there for months now.

US and british special forces, you may know they are coming, but with the units they are selecting, you wont see them coming until after you are dead.

I would bet they are already there and have been for a while (getting the lay of the land, so to speak).
