A British sniper from the elite SAS saved an 8-year-old boy and his father from an Islamic State executioner by shooting the executioner in the head last month.
The SAS sniper team was reportedly tipped off to the execution in the Syrian desert by an Iraqi spy. When they arrived, they found that several Shia Muslims had already been beheaded by their Shiite Muslim captors. The IS (commonly referred to as ISIS) executioner, flanked on both sides by armed companions, was preparing to kill a young boy and his father next when the SAS team deployed its .50-caliber silenced sniper rifle.
“The ISIS thug who was about to decapitate the father was shot in the head and collapsed,” an unnamed source told the Express. “Everyone just stared in confusion.”
“The sniper then dispatched the two henchmen with single shots–three kills with three bullets.”

It is the Will of Allah.

What's the difference between a Shia and a Shiite?
I hope the rescued victims remember that...
Exploding heads is bad for morale.
Wish I had that kind of money.
The SAS are some SERIOUS dudes. Not to be trifled with.
That was a beautiful and inspirational story.
Shia Muslims had already been beheaded by their Shiite Muslim captors....Something is wrong here. I don’t think Shiites are allowed to kill other Shiites. What are we losing here?
Beats the ‘’shia’’ outta me !Actually the Shiites are a minority sect of Islam, supposedly more radical then the majority Shia who are supposed to be ‘’moderate’’. Iran is dominated by the Shiites.
What’s the difference between a Shia and a Shiite?
Yea, I was wondering that too.
