"Either that, or this assasin was a pro..."Even for a pro, I find this a stretch but, I guess it's possible.

This was work of a pro: he was able to shoot people in the head 300yd away. At least the first three killed were that far away - all shut in the head. It was an apparently very well calculated ambush. The soldiers were disoriented and did not know were it was coming from. And they were fed to him one by one for almost 40 min. The reporter from CNBC (forgot his name) said that it was an old WWII rifle. While reporting he could barely hide his smile of satisfaction. Couple hours later I saw him running with the a-rab scum hiding from the rubber bullets. I know rifles. I served in the army. 300yd in the head, even downslope, with the sun behind: you have got to be a darn GOOD sniper with a darn GOOD optics and a powerful rifle. Neither the Mauser, nor Enfield, nor Mosin can achieve a thing like this. That must have been a 7mm or something better. That moron from CNBC is a rotten pease of sh. and is not telling the truth.

More than one. Sounds like two or three at least, well concealed, managed to escape detection.
