Two British Special Forces soldiers have been seriously hurt after a missile attack by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) in Syria. The attack was believed to have happened on Saturday morning near Deir Ezzor in the east of the country.   A Kurdish soldier fighting alongside the British forces was killed in the missile strike and five other British troops were injured. The most serious casualty, understood by the Telegraph to be from Britain’s elite 22 SAS Regiment, based in Hereford, is thought to have been hit in the throat with shrapnel. British Special Forces are believed to be operating in the east of Syria alongside American troops and Kurdish fighters of the People’s Defence Unit (YPG), a mainly Kurdish militia fighting in Syria. Kamiran Sadoun, a Syrian Kurdish journalist working for the Telegraph, spoke to injured fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) at a makeshift hospital at the al-Omar oil field in the evening of Saturday 5.

Loyalist forces in Gabon swiftly crushed a coup attempt on Monday as a plot by junior officers to end half a century of rule by the Bongo family stuttered to an ignominious halt. Two hours before dawn, a handful of subalterns from the presidential guard seized control of state radio, announcing to a nation mostly still asleep that power was now in the hands of a “national restoration council”. But it swiftly became apparent that the conspiracy to oust Ali Bongo, the ailing president of the central African state, was as poorly executed as it was ill-conceived. Deploying the flowery rhetoric of many a past African coup leader, a young lieutenant identifying himself as Kelly Obiang urged military units and Gabonese civilians onto the streets to support the plotters’ cause. “If you are eating, stop,” he told listeners. “If you are having a drink, stop. If you are sleeping, wake up… rise up as one and take control of the street.” Despite the perceived unpopularity of Mr Bongo, a Masonic gra...
