A British SAS sniper took an Islamic State (Isis) commander's head clean off as he taught jihadi recruits how to behead captives, according to reports. The marksman fired from over a kilometre away (1,000 metres) to land the shot.
The IS (Daesh) fighter was reported to be in the middle of a drill teaching new soldiers how to execute captives, according to the Daily Express. Some 20 new terror recruits were watching as the fatal bullet struck.
The soldier was operating in the northern Syria a fortnight ago and was using a .338 rifle with tumbling ammo that can cause a huge hole in the body on impact. The sniper had assistance from 12 fellow SAS soldiers, who managed to sneak into a jihadi compound before the shot was fired.
One military insider said: "One minute he was standing there and the next his head had exploded. The commander remained standing upright for a couple of seconds before collapsing and that's when panic set in. We later heard most of the recruits deserted. We got rid of 21 terrorists with one bullet."

Those 20 recruits are now useless; their memory of the consequences of being a mindless savage killer will be with them 24/7/365 forever!
If someone invented that scenario, no one would believe it.
HEY! that’s Calvin, perhaps, with Hobbes, his stuffed tiger, my lifetime favorite cartoon strip series!
Those magic 20 will freak out hundreds... perhaps thousands of would be koranimal supermen
A few might. But human nature being what it is, viewing the means and results of your future death has a profound effect.
Works for me!
And a modest sniper might agree...
Mobsters always let one live to tell the story. Not 20.
