The elite sniper shot dead the terrorist chief with what senior defence sources said was a shot achieved at a range of more than 1,500m with a window of opportunity of just 15 seconds.
Military insiders said the sniper was using a US-made McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle, which fires a huge .50 calibre round......
The source said: “The bullet struck the ISIS commander in the back of the head and basically took off his face. He died instantly.”

Does that qualify as a minor flesh wound?

What do you suppose was the last thing that went through the terrorist's mind, before he croaked?

Oh dear. And Mahmud the Not-so Magnificent was just getting ready to turn his life around. But not his head.

Does that qualify as a minor flesh wound? Only if you're a black k..k...knight in a Monty Python movie.

A happy story that is touching enough to bring a tear to my eye...and an eye through the next wall for the terrorist.

I don’t see how that can be! President John Kennedy was struck from behind, and the BACK of his head came off! For this to be true, there would have had to have been a shooter on the Grassy Knoll.
Is this part of #Qanon’s preparing the public for a big reveal?

LOL, yeah, probably all of the above, but I was thinking more along the lines, of a 50 calibre round.

Dang. He didn’t suffer much huh? A .50 will do that to you I suppose.
