A BRAVE Brit contractor shot dead two ISIS militants with an AK47 during the Mozambique massacre and then hid out in the jungle.

Nick Alexander, a dual British-South African citizen, spent two nights crawling through the bush with colleagues before being rescued at the weekend.

The former cop was at the back of a convoy of expats that came under heavy fire from militants on Friday evening, reports the Times.

Mr Alexander, a contractor building camps for gas workers in Africa, has since made contact with his daughter Jayde, 29, in Johannesburg.

“He saw the commotion with the ambush ahead and got out,” she revealed.

“There was a government vehicle with an AK47 in it, so he broke in, got it and shot dead two al-Shabaabs [militants].

"He and two others from the car then ran to hide into the bushes with the gun.

"They were literally crawling through the bush until they were rescued.”

Earlier we reported how one Brit was killed and 40 expats are missing after ISIS gunmen ambushed the convoy desperately as the fled a hotel siege.

The convoy of foreign contractors was attacked by Islamic State fanatics in Palma, northern Mozambique, leaving at least seven dead.

Dozens of expats were killed or are now missing - with Brits among them - after the bloody ambush near Africa's biggest gas project.

Scores of locals, including young children, have also been slaughtered during the five-day siege of the mining town.

I wonder if he will go on trial, for being a racist too? Nothing would surprise me.

Luck = Opportunity + Preparedness

Luck = (bad guys showing up) + (A former cop that had a weapon available)

The attackers were “unlucky” because “a former cop had a weapon available”

Kind of simple math, right?

A British citizen grabs a gun banned in Britain to defend himself and others. Will he be prosecuted when he gets back home?

I’m a bit curious whether this “former cop” has another former profession that they are not mentioning, one that involved firearms and crawling through the jungle. Either way, he has my respect.
