RAF jets carried out an airstrike last night against Islamic State fighters near Ramadi who were firing on Iraqi forces. Whitehall officials acknowledged the credibility of reports that two British jihadists were among some 180 Islamic State fighters swapped last month by Turkey for 46 Turkish personnel held captive by the IS in Mosul. The group of fighters turned over to the IS in the swap also reportedly included three French citizens, two Swedes, two Macedonians, a Swiss, and a Belgian.
