RAF Kills Taliban Leader By Remote - From Vegas!

A friend tells me that what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas! Heh. Consider the Reaper. (I'm thinking Grim Reaper!)

The RAF has used an unmanned drone to kill a Taliban leader for the first time, the Mail has learned.

Two 'pilots', controlling the robot via satellite from an airbase outside Las Vegas, spotted a target thousands of miles away in southern Afghanistan.

They ordered the £10million Reaper drone to carry out an airstrike.

...this is the first time that British forces have used a flying drone to locate a target, monitor it while the airstrike is planned and authorised and then launch the weapons to destroy it.

Pilot's eye view.
