Yesterday it was announced that the British Government order a Royal Air Force UAV drone to strike a target in Syria which killed three members of ISIS. However, it seems that not everyone is happy and a human rights group is now questioning the legality of the attack. In addition to this, the press have been reporting about the emotional suffering the families of these terrorists here in the UK are going through, and how other Muslim families are now worried that their children who have joined ISIS will be next. Not only that, but it has been reported that as this attack was possibly 'illegal', the families of the three dead terrorists may be able to sue Her Majesty's Government.

From the article:
A human rights group has begun legal action to force the government to reveal the advice it received from lawyers justifying the killing of British jihadists in Syria.

The move by Rights Watch (UK) comes as critics branded the threat by Michael Fallon, the defence secretary, to target other militants overseas as operating a US-style “kill list”.

Fallon’s promise that the government “wouldn’t hesitate to take similar action again” against “other terrorists involved in other plots” raised fresh questions about the legality of the government’s policy.

David Cameron announced on Monday that two British citizens, Reyaad Khan and Rahul Amin, had been killed in an RAF targeted strike. A third Britain, Junaid Hussain, was killed in a US operation acting jointly with UK intelligence. The prime minister told MPs it was legally justified as an act of self-defence because the threat they posed to life in the UK was “imminent”.

That these terrorists were British citizens, born and bred here in the United Kingdom is as worrying as it is disturbing. There seems to be an ever growing number of radical jihadists who were born in Britain to then head overseas and join ISIS.

My questions are: Do terrorists deserve any human rights? Would it be right for families of dead terrorists who fled the UK to join ISIS to be able to successfully sue a government for killing their children?

They are traitors and should be executed if they return to British soil.
