Special Air Service SAS soldiers in Syria have allegedly killed 12 jihadis in revenge attacks after a British sniper specialist was killed by an ISIS roadside bomb last month.
Last month Special Air Service Sniper Matt Tonroe from Manchester was killed in the northern city of Manbij.
Sgt Tonroe, 33, was embedded in Seal Team 6 - the unit which killed Osama Bin Laden - when he died after a vehicle he was travelling in struck a roadside bomb.
A joint British and US task force have allegedly killed a dozen terrorists during a series of raids on bomb factories near where Sgt Tonroe was killed, reports the Daily Star Sunday.
A source told the Daily Star: 'The attacks have been unrelenting – assaults are being launched night and day. We’re not giving the terrorists room to breathe or recover.
'These are kill-not-capture missions. Every operation throws up more intelligence and that is used for the next operation. We are hitting them from the ground and air.
'They can run but they can’t hide. If they fight they die.'
The source also claimed that all SAS soldiers based in the country have asked to be sent to the area so they can take revenge.
