AWESOME: Sniper Kills ISIS Executioner From Over A Mile Away

A British Special Air Service marksman killed a top ISIS executioner in a small village near Raqqa, Syria, as he was about to murder several hostages with a flame thrower. The sharpshooter pierced the fuel tank on the terrorist’s back, incinerating him and three of his comrades who were preparing to film the execution.

The SAS sniper fired a single .50 caliber round from his Barrett rifle from over 1640 yards away (almost 14 football fields) just seconds before the jihadists began to torch the 12 hostages alive. Shortly after the explosion, British and U.S. Special Forces arrived to free the prisoners.
