Hero SAS sniper saves father and eight-year-old son from being beheaded by ISIS maniac
A HERO SAS sniper gunned down a knife-wielding Islamic State (ISIS) maniac just as he was trying to brutally behead a father and his young son.

The brave British marksman saved the terrified eight-year-old and his father after taking out the crazed jihadi with a head shot from 1,000 metres away.
The special forces crack shot then killed two other members of the hated terror group, who were also taking part in the sick planned execution.
ISIS militants had decreed that the little boy and his father must die after branding them "infidels" because they refused to denounce their faith.
They were just seconds from death when the hero sniper intervened to stop the barbaric killing in the Syrian desert. The pair were part of the minority Shia sect of Islam which ISIS considers to be heretical.
They were saved from a cruel and painful death at the hands of the fanatics after an Iraqi spy tipped off British special forces to the planned execution.
Special forces troops who arrived at the killing site, where ISIS was carrying out a series of rigged 'trials' of locals, discovered a gruesome scene with several headless bodies already lying bloodied on the desert floor.
The dramatic rescue operation took place last month near the Syrian border with Turkey, where an elite SAS unit had been conducting covert patrols.
Defence sources described how the SAS unit moved into a position just outside a village where ISIS members were holding the 'trial' in front of a crowd of locals who had been forced to attend at gunpoint.

On the flip side, US forces can’t do anything until they are fired upon.
When they catch an ISIS thug, they ought to force feed him a pound of bacon before he is killed.

A head shot with a .50 caliber?
That’s going to leave a mark.
Our media would/will give the name and address of the SAS soldier and all his kin too.
Good, but they are not maniacs. They are acting on the beliefs of their subhuman violent ideology.
“Good, but they are not maniacs. They are acting on the beliefs of their subhuman violent ideology.”
Yes, I agree that was a problem I found with the author / editor of the piece explaining that somehow these throat-cutters are just an aberration of a “peaceful religion”.
Barf..
I am laughing so hard. Thanks.
