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.”

ISIS aren’t Shi’ites.
“.50-caliber silenced sniper rifle”
I am not sure a .50 can be ‘silent’.
Only grammatical.
One less worm.
.50 caliber to the head?
Talk about a beheading!
As someone said in an earlier post of this story - ah, sweet pink mist
It's the same kind of difference you have between Pelosi and Boehner.
Or Reid and McConnell.
In pseudo-theological/historical terms, Sunnis follow Moe-Ham-Head's father in law. Shias follow Moe-Ham-Head's cousin.
It's so they don't run out of people to hate when there's no Christians, Jews or Hindus around.
“The sniper then dispatched the two henchmen with single shots–three kills with three bullets.
“It was a good day’s work,’ the source told the paper.”
LOL.
“What’s the difference between a Shia and a Shiite? “
According to this blog which references Webster, Shia is a noun while Shiite is preferred as an adjective but can be used as a noun. Thus “Shia Muslim” would be incorrect but “Shiite Muslim” or “Shiite” would be correct.

ISIS is Sunni, just like Obama. The writer can’t help it. He’s probably a graduate of a top crotch journalism school.
Looks like the right people got beheaded. A .50 cal to the head doesn’t leave much.
Yay for British snipers!!!
Shiite. . .two vowels too many?
Me thinks the executioner never heard it.LOL
” I don’t think Shiites are allowed to kill other Shiites. “
Nothing prohibits that.
Yikes! That’s what I was thinking. I think I’ll wait on cutting open that watermelon.
Anyway - I think that’s a typo.
THe ISIS are Sunnis, just like Al-Quaeda.
That’s why the Iranians are fighting them.
“Me thinks the executioner never heard it.LOL”
“it” or “of it”
I am certain the executioner heard his .50 blast.
5.56mm
Reach out and “Touch” someone.
