An SAS sniper took out five ISIS jihadis with just three rounds before they were able to launch a sickening suicide bomb attack.

The SAS veteran fired a trio of well-placed bullets from 800 metres away, taking them out as they left a bomb factory near Mosul, an ISIS stronghold in Iraq.

He opened fire after they were seen leaving in heavy coats in hot weather - a sign they were concealing explosive vests.

I thought every town had a guy or girl who wears hats with ear lappers or watch caps and heavy coats in August. Why should Mosul be any different?

One round set off a suicide vest, which killed the extra bad guys, otherwise it was three shots, three kills - still an excellent result - one with a head shot, all from (reportedly) 800 meters.
