CHINOOK crews from RAF Odiham are said to have flown SAS quad-bike squads into Iraq to curtail the activities of Islamic State (IS) extremists.

The Mail on Sunday reported that daring raids by UK Special Forces have left around 200 IS fighters dead in just four weeks.

It is said that targets are identified by drones, operated by SAS soldiers, who are then dropped into IS territory by helicopter.
