SAS and US special forces forming special unit to vaporize IS

[TeoD]

Task Force Black will aim to “cut the head off the snake” by hitting the command structure of the Islamist terror group responsible for a trail of destruction.

Target: Islamic State gunmen led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
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.

In Iraq, Task Force Black was carrying out strike operations every night.

"It was an unrelenting, intelligence-led assault on al-Qaeda. It took a lot of hard work and no small amount of sacrifice – but it worked.

“Defeating IS cannot be done by air strikes alone. You have to get on the ground and take out the commanders – cut off the snake’s head.

“The organisation will then begin to collapse. IS targets civilians and has yet to get into a real fight with a ­modern Western military.

“The SAS and US special forces will do untold damage to them.

“They’ll focus on the high command. This is going to be a long campaign, probably lasting years.

“And it will be like nothing the West has ever had to confront before.”

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.

One of the first jobs will be to identify the British Muslim shown on an IS video released last week apparently cutting Foley’s head off with a knife.

UK intelligence sources confirmed that the killer, believed to be a British-born Pakistani from London, is already at the top of a CIA “kill list”.

The bloodthirsty thug, dubbed “Jailer John”, was one of a brutal trio of Britons nicknamed “The Beatles” who guard IS kidnap victims.

Former IS captives said up to 20 foreigners are being held by IS.

The joint US/British unit will ­conduct strike operations against IS in both Syria and Iraq.

Troops will also train Kurdish Peshmerga fighters.

Prime Minister David Cameron and President Barack Obama are determined not to send large numbers of ground troops, so the use of small teams of special forces working with local militias is their only option.

Downing Street has revealed that Britain will send “non-lethal” equipment including night-vision equipment and body armour to Kurdish fighters this week.

Work has already begun creating a network of spies and informers who will supply Task Force Black with ­high-grade human intelligence.

British and US spy planes will eavesdrop on ­mobile phone calls and pinpoint the location of IS commanders.

Operations will also be mounted to snatch middle-ranking IS commanders for interrogation by CIA analysts.

US Navy Seals showed that intelligence gathered over years can be used to mount a kill operation when they shot dead Osama bin Laden in 2011.

The new task force plans similar surprise attacks in which ­sophisticated “silent” helicopters land troops.

The SAS, Seals and Delta Force worked together on many operations in Afghanistan and share intelligence.

One source said: “Intelligence will be key to our operations. We have to build a network to defeat a network.

"The brutal tactics of IS mean a lot of people want to see them gone.

“They have people fighting for them who are too frightened to leave.

"Young men joined IS believing they were fighting tyranny but what they saw was mass executions and beheadings.

“The CIA will offer them money and a new life – but they’ll have to deliver information first.”

There are also moves to revive a defunct Iraqi special forces unit called the Apostles, which was ­created by the first Task Force Black a­fter the Iraq War.

Meanwhile Mr Cameron is under growing pressure over an alleged failure to deal with home-grown radicals.

Pictures of him surfing in Cornwall at the height of the crisis are said to have raised eyebrows even in his Cabinet.

Politicians of all parties urged action to stop radicalisation of young British Muslims and tougher restrictions on those ­peddling extremist views.

And there were renewed calls for security services to get greater powers to monitor extremists online.

It emerged that recommendations to toughen controls made five months ago by David Anderson QC, the Government’s own adviser on terrorism laws, have yet to be acted on.

In another move, Lieutenant General Sir Simon Mayall, the Government’s senior defence adviser on the Middle East, is being sent to liaise with Kurdish commanders.

It's about time this happened. These people who think that it's okay to chop people's heads off as they please need to be stopped.

The home grown ones will never be stopped, it's only a matter of time before something happens.

[Spike.]

Let's hope justice is made.

There has to be some root cause to this. Someone doesn't just grow up and want to behead an innocent person, we need to find out what is behind it.

[Zaila]

I changed the title of the topic as it was very misleading and could be offensive.

[.James]

End of the world.

[Lustigkurre]

Good. Weird that it took so long for the world to do something.

Fucking sweat pants mafia.

[Mikal]

The root cause: The extremists that are allowed to stand in central London blocking off roads preaching extreme hatred and lies through megaphones to tens if not hundreds of Muslim's at a time, if the police removed them from the streets instead of just standing around protecting them as a 'civil servant' maybe extremism in the UK wouldn't be as bad as it is now, I'm aware that not all extremists come out of London, many of the ones in Syria now came from Cardiff, there is this story today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-29029954

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

Um, This Task Force was formed over 10 years ago. It was formed after the September 11 Attacks. It's somewhat part of Task Force 88.

Task Force 88 (This is where Task Force Black comes from) is compiled of Army Delta Force, 75th Ranger Regiment Rangers, members of the USAF 24th Special Tactics Squadron, and Navy DEVGRU (Bonus Fact: The term Seal Team 6 is not official. It was disbanded 30 years ago, but it's still called that by the Media and Culture (and some soldiers too)).

Now. Task Force Black holds mostly British Special Forces (The Boat service, Reconnaissance Regiment, and Signal Regiment) plus Delta Force. I believe SAS is part of this also.

My point is. Task Force Black has been formed for years. An operation I remember from this group was about 9 years ago. Look up "Operation Marlborough." It's not a new group, probably just a new operation. One of few we'll ever hear about.

Let them all f**king burn, they're already at the borders of Lebanon at Arsal. They captured about 27 from the Lebanese Army and the Internal Security Forces during clashes. So far they've beheaded two of them.. One happens to be just an hour ago because he almost escaped and he also shot at them. They're going to go through hell if they step inside... Nobody supports them here. Not even us Sunnis.

I do agree that burning the current ISIS flag with the title it holds could bother Muslims, therefore a lot of people have edited text on the flag to " Daech has no god " then burnt it.(Daech is an other name for ISIS in Arabic).. Anyway:
#BurnISISFlagChallenge.

Exactly. They have no place in this world and do not represent Islam in any form.

Hmm, some of the thousands of people that support IS may disagree, and unless you're going to kill them all I'd say they are here to stay.

Besides, even if you did get rid of IS a new terror group would just open up and so in my eyes there's no point in fighting them, just get those Christian minorities to safety and leave the terrorists to it, clearly all of these Middle Eastern countries can't get their shit together to fight them off as they say they 'want to do' and so they need to pay the price for it, it's their inability to control terrorists in their own countries that means the West has to get involved, and every time the West get involved the terrorists set their eyes upon us, I'm aware if left to it they'd just grow bigger and more powerful, but maybe that's what needs to happen in order for people in these countries to wake up, countries like the United Arab Emirates seem fine being extremely rich and spending all their money on giant architectural projects which won't be used for anything all the while they have a tiny uncapable military force and cry to the West everytime their neighbours get out of control, it's about time they fix shit for themselves instead of dragging us into their problems, maybe they should go ask the UAE and all their money for some support, and if they refuse to help, fine, the terrorists will soon move into their country aswell.

I don't think we can do that with this group. When Al-Qaeda doesn't want to be associated to a group because they are too extremist then there's an issue. They mustn't be allowed to establish a full blown country with their own armed forces and more advanced weaponry, we have to crush them now while they are relatively weak.

Al-Qaeda is just trying to fix their image after years of terrorising both the West and their own countries, responsible for 9/11 and yet they still exist today, both are as bad as each other, but why does it mean we have to deal with them instead of the countries that they trying to take over?
