Summary: According to the Pentagon, US military drones were successful in killing Boubaker Hakim, 33 years old and a French ISIS member on November 26, 2016 in Raqqa Syra. Boubaker Hakim was suspected of enabling a terrorist attack on a tourist beach in Tunisia back in June of this year where 38 people were killed. Boubaker Hakim had a reputation of being one of the most notorious and ruthless members in global jihad. Peter Cook a spokesman for the Pentagon said "His removal degrades ISIL's ability to conduct further attacks in the West and denies ISIL a veteran extremest with extensive ties". The drones play a key roll in the fight against terrorist. They are unmanned air craft that gather information such as tracking IP addresses, wifi, mobile wifi and more to help track down the terrorist leaders. The US has had a series of successful strikes against ISIS leaders killing Junaid Hussain and Haji Mutazz within the past two weeks.
Analysis: This article was written by Paul Cruickshank of CNN. It was written to inform the public of the headway that is being made against the terrorist and how the drones are assisting in the fight. It does give me some comfort to know that the drones seem to be helping in the fight against terrorist.
