A British SAS sniper took an Islamic State (Isis) commander's head clean off as he taught jihadi recruits how to behead captives, according to reports. The marksman fired from over a kilometre away (1,000 metres) to land the shot.
The IS (Daesh) fighter was reported to be in the middle of a drill teaching new soldiers how to execute captives, according to the Daily Express. Some 20 new terror recruits were watching as the fatal bullet struck.
The soldier was operating in the northern Syria a fortnight ago and was using a .338 rifle with tumbling ammo that can cause a huge hole in the body on impact. The sniper had assistance from 12 fellow SAS soldiers, who managed to sneak into a jihadi compound before the shot was fired.
One military insider said: "One minute he was standing there and the next his head had exploded. The commander remained standing upright for a couple of seconds before collapsing and that's when panic set in. We later heard most of the recruits deserted. We got rid of 21 terrorists with one bullet."

What makes you so sure the other 20 won't return to the battlefield?

What a great good news story!
I can see it now:
ISIS Dirtbag 'Instructor': "Pay attention! This is how you decapitate the infidels!" (pulling out rusty scimitar)
SAS Sniper: "That's not a decapitation sport, THIS is a decapitation!" *BLAM!!!*

I wasn’t kidding about still laughing. I trained a lot of foreign and US soldiers and I could just imagine the “instructor’s” head vanishing in a cloud of red mist while he was teaching them how to behead an infidel. How do you say “Oh sheet!!” in Arabic?
As we used to say, “Nothing but a-holes and elbows fleeing the scene.”

Hopefully he yelled a warning, or he’ll be PROSECUTED, as the Brits are doing to an earlier sniper.

Too bad he didn’t shoot the grenade or IED and get ‘em all with one shot.
