Your charming, feel-good ISIS story of the day.

Personally, I think that Somebody may have been showing off.

A SAS sniper has beheaded an ISIS executioner with a single shot while the militant was teaching jihadis how to decapitate prisoners, it has been reported.

Some 20 Islamic fighters were taking part in the executioner’s outdoor lesson when he was killed by the elite British soldier – hiding 4,000ft away and using specially-designed ‘wounding’ bullets.

A witness said the entire group of student jihadis then fled, deserting their cause after the ill fated training session at a small village in northern Syria.

I mean, no question that the SAS trains its people to a level of You will be very, very polite to that nice young man.  But that’s not luck, that’s supernatural intervention.  Not much, to be sure. Just enough juice to ensure the head-shot.

…What?  My religion allows for supernatural entities. In fact, my religion allows for supernatural entities that would have very strong views on death cultists, which is what that guy was. I am allowed to indulge myself.

  1. More importantly, God is allowed to indulge Himself.
    Vengeance is His, but He has been known to subcontract.

    1. Vengeance is the Lord’s, but the Lord chooses the instrument of vengeance.
      .
      …of course, that was also Private Maggot’s rationale in The Dirty Dozen

  2. I know this gives me a good feeling in my special place but aren’t you the least, little bit suspicious?

    Another story just like this one from August last year has,”Hero SAS sniper saves father and eight-year-old son from being beheaded by ISIS maniac” headline.

    This story sounds a lot like that one. I’m skeptical, for starters, 4000 feet is a long way for a .308, a very long way.

    I bet the hold over would be about 20 feet above,not one foot right.

    There is no bullet designed to tumble in flight. They spin for accuracy. I kept clicking links back to the original story that says the bullet is designed to “tumble when it hits its target.”

    Does anybody know what a “special wounding bullet” is?

    Is the SAS shooting people in Iraq or Syria? Probably but I’d feel a little bit better if the news was coming from an official press release.

    1. The SAS sniper is using an IWI Dan .338. The bullet is designed to tumble upon entering soft tissue. It’s essentially a cut down big game hunting rifle round. You know for shooting down Cape Buffalo in Southern Africa.

      The shooting in Syria.
