RAF Tornados Bomb IS Target in Iraq

British jets have launched a fresh strike against Islamic State (IS) fighters in Iraq, bombing a building being used by the militants.

The Ministry of Defence said two RAF Tornado jets used Paveway guided bombs to attack IS forces who were firing on Iraqi troops from a building near Ramadi.

The RAF jets, based in Akrotiri, Cyprus, resumed sorties in support of local ground forces in Iraq after a pause in respect of the Muslim holiday of Eid.
