[IsraelTimes] Telegraph says British intelligence uncovered plot by bully boyz in Syria to gain access to info; one ringleader killed in drone attack

Britannia's intelligence service has uncovered a "sophisticated espionage operation" run by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
bully boyz in Syria to hack into the email accounts of British cabinet ministers, Britannia's Telegraph newspaper said Friday.

According to the paper, an investigation by Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) revealed that bully boyz linked to the Islamic State have been targeting information held by some of Prime Minister David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
's most senior ministers, including Home Secretary Theresa May.

The Telegraph said that "it is understood that at least one of the plot's ringleaders was killed by a drone strike in an operation disclosed by the Prime Minister this week."

Hacking into the emails could have provided bully boyz with details of events at which government officials and royalty were expected, the paper reported, claiming that it had sat on the story while the investigation was ongoing.

On August 21, Britannia carried out a drone attack on a car in the Syrian city of Raqqa, an IS stronghold, that killed three Islamic State fighters, including two Britons. The UK said this week that the strike was carried out in self-defense.

The Telegraph said that "at least one of the plot's ringleaders" was killed in the attack. According to the paper, one of the Britons targeted in the strike had also directed a plot to kill the Queen.

In a letter to the UN Security Council president dated Monday, Britannia's UN Ambassador Matthew Rycroft wrote that the target was "known to be actively engaged in planning and directing imminent armed attacks against the United Kingdom." It called the Arclight airstrike "necessary and proportionate."
