Full Title: Libyan ISIS chiefs living in fear of 'mystery sniper' after three of the terror group's top men are assassinated by long-range marksman
ISIS chiefs are living in fear of a mystery sniper after it was rumoured three of the evil terror group's leaders had been assassinated within 10 days of each other by a long-range marksman. The leaders are said to have been picked off one-by-one in Sirte, the Libyan coastal city where Muammar Gaddaffi was born, which the militants took control of last year. According to unconfirmed social media reports, ISIS fighters are now sweeping the city for the man ordinary Libyans are said to be dubbing 'Daesh hunter'.
The first ISIS leader to lose his life was Hamad Abdel Hady, a Sudanese national who was killed on January 13, according to Libya Prospect. He is said to have been an official in the sharia court, handing out ISIS' warped and violent sense of justice. Abu Mohammed Dernawi was killed on January 19 near his home in the city, according to some reports.
The most recent death is rumoured to be that of Abdullah Hamad al Ansari, a high-up commander from southern Libya, who was shot dead as he left the mosque on January 23. However, this may not be the start of such a campaign against ISIS fighters in the city. Journalist Daniele Raineri pointed out a similar assassination took place in July, when an ISIS preacher was shot dead.

Excellent!
(Terrorism cuts two ways...?)
Dig it.
Finally some good news!
Why are they living in fear? I thought they wanted to die for Allah so they can get their 42 virgins in Paradise? Or is that just the lowly pawns that believe that and not the leaders?
LOL!
Who? My guess is a SEAL sniper team.
In a perfect world, it would be a group of fed up locals who decided to take out the terrorist leaders without trying to take over.
Bet it is a 338 LM. The Britts have a looser ROE than our guys.
Is a secret sniper killing off Isil's high command in Libya?
FR Thread Link
Somewhere Carlos Hathcock and Chris Kyle are doing a high five.
so, the count is really 4, not just 3
With some of these new scopes being developed, combined with a .338 this could become commonplace.
The only groups with the kind of training to produce those kind of shots are the US, British or Israelis. Anyone of them could have provided the training for the individual doing this.
Good on ‘em.
I thought he would be happy to go meet Allah and let him know what a proficient murderer he is???
You won’t hear of any of the leaders strapping on a a bomb or driving a truck into the local market. They consider themselves to be to important for that.
When we Obama claim credit>
My understanding (no first hand exp) is the new stuff has computer driven self-doping for range, wind, humidity, and altitude.
When combined with a suitable device, and a non-coffee drinker, they are very effective.
Let it out that the sniper is a woman using bullets coated in pig lard.
The results speak for themselves.
