Today's "feel good" story. SAS sniper kills ISIS executioner about to murder 8 year old and his father.

By Rob Janicki

A British sniper from the elite SAS saved an 8-year-old boy and his father from an Islamic State executioner by shooting the executioner in the head last month.

The SAS sniper team was reportedly tipped off to the execution in the Syrian desert by an Iraqi spy. When they arrived, they found that several Shia Muslims had already been beheaded by their captors. The IS (commonly referred to as ISIS) executioner, flanked on both sides by armed companions, was preparing to kill a young boy and his father next when the SAS team deployed its .50-caliber silenced sniper rifle.

“The ISIS thug who was about to decapitate the father was shot in the head and collapsed,” an unnamed source told the Daily Star. “Everyone just stared in confusion.”

“The sniper then dispatched the two henchmen with single shots–three kills with three bullets.”

The SAS sniper lived up to the code of his peers.  One shot, one kill.  In the above case he multiplied that by three.  Three bullets, three shots and three kills of Islamic savages beyond the pale of humanity.  My only hope would have been that they died slowly and painfully.  But alas, with a .50 caliber bullet, that was highly unlikely.

With a sound suppressor and enough distance for the shots to be taken (reported to be at 1000 meters), the three ISIS savages may never have heard the shots that killed them.

Of course there will be doubters of the veracity of this story, but among ultra professional snipers of SAS and similar services, such a story would never get out if it weren't true.  That's part of the code of being a sniper.
