Sniper takes out ISIS executioner from a mile away
New York Post ^ | 9/11/2016 | Emily Saul

A sharpshooter killed a top ISIS executioner and three other jihadists with a single bullet from nearly a mile away — just seconds before the fiend was set to burn 12 hostages alive with a flamethrower, according to a new report.

The British Special Air Service marksman turned one of the most hated terrorists in Syria into a fireball by using a Barett .50-caliber rifle to strike a fuel tank affixed to the jihadi’s back, the UK’s Daily Star reported Sunday.

The pack exploded, killing the sadistic terrorist and three of his flunkies, who were supposed to film the execution, last month, the paper said.

The ISIS butcher — who reportedly delighted in burning hostages alive — had been on a US “kill list” for several months, sources told the paper, which did not identify the sniper or the executioner.

I love irony. Especially the burning kind.

“Looks like a P14 sniper rifle. Rare.”

Even a standard issue P14 (.303) in complete original condition is hard to come by. Most of them are missing their volley sights. It took me years to find a couple.

How did the hostages fare? (How close was he at the time of incineration?)

WOW! Can you imagine the celebration and congratulations at the firing position when that fireball went up — and the spotting scope revealed four napalm-coated muzziescum writhing on the ground!?!

Can you imagine the celebration and congratulations at the firing position when that fireball went up....I can. “Alright, Mates. Let’s pack up and get to the LZ.” The high fives came when the mission was accomplished. Not until.

Guess now he’ll be tasting what it’s like to be burned - for all Eternity.

Gotta love payback.

I can't think of anyone who deserved it more.

Glad he got a taste of what he loved to dish out.

I love a happy ending. Another subhuman jihadist meets his 72 virgin....goats (or grapes).

From the link....

“The executioner gave some sort of rambling speech . . . then when he finished, the SAS sniper opened fire,” the source said. The captives were then rescued by British and US special forces.
