UK sniper kills five ISIS suicide bombers with just three bullets
- 8 years ago
MOSUL, ISIS-CONTROLLED IRAQ — Three bullets fired, five ISIS terrorists killed — courtesy of the famed British commando service known as the Special Air Service (SAS).
The UK's Express newspaper reports that an unnamed veteran who joined the SAS a decade ago, may have saved hundreds of lives by firing three well-aimed shots at a distance of over 2,600 feet, or 800 meters.
Reports say several weeks ago, military intelligence received information about a potential bomb making factory located just outside the city limits of the ISIS-controlled Iraqi city of Mosul. An airstrike was contemplated but as the target was too close to populated areas, it was decided to send in the SAS.
After digging in 800 meters away, the SAS sniper team observed several men coming out of the target building wearing heavy winter coats which, in the desert-like temperatures of Iraq, is unusual … unless you are concealing a suicide vest.
Permission to shoot was granted and an SAS sniper took out the first would-be bomber with a shot to the chest which detonated his suicide vest. A second later, the sniper fired a bullet into the forehead of another ISIS fighter before the last terrified would-be suicide bomber was also shot in the vest as he attempted to escape.
The last bomber's vest also detonated, killing himself and other ISIS fighters sitting in a nearby car.
In all, three shots were fired and five ISIS targets were permanently neutralized, potentially saving dozens if not hundreds of lives that could have been lost in the planned suicide bombings.
Great shooting, lads. Keep up the good work!
