Syria drone strike was 'necessary to keep UK safe'

The UK would not hesitate to launch more secret drone strikes in Syria to thwart terror plots, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has said.

He said the RAF strike that killed two British Islamic State jihadists was a "perfectly legal act of self defence".

There are "other terrorists" involved in "other plots that may come to fruition" in weeks or months, he said.
