A British special forces sniper took out two ISIS auto bombers with a single shot as they drove towards a target in Libya, according to the Mail.
It is understood the attack took place in a small village close to the town of Raqqa in Northern Syria after special forces were tipped off to the terrorist’s whereabouts.
The marksman – who is part of a British and U.S. special forces team tracking “high-value” ISIS leaders in Syria – fired a shot at the flamethrower’s fuel tank, causing it to detonate.
It’s believed the executioner had been on British and USA special forces” “kill list” for months and was understood to have regularly burnt prisoners alive, who himself turned into a “huge fireball’ when the shot was sacked, witnesses claim.
Armed with a Barrett.50 calibre rifle, he reportedly locked on target before shooting at the flamethrower’s fuel tank, causing it to explode.
A source told The Daily Star that up to 12 civilians – eight men and four women – were going to be murdered in the planned terrorist attack. They were reportedly suspected of being spies.
The executioner gave some sort of rambling speech over a loud hailer then when he finished the SAS sniper opened fire. The men were driving a vehicle full of explosives towards a target when the sniper’s bullet thwarted their plans. The single shot was taken from an astounding distance of 1,500 metres (4,900 ft).
The bullet went through the driver’s skull and lodged in the passenger’s neck, killing them both.

The sniper potentially saved hundreds of lives as the jihadis were transporting the massive vehicle bomb to a busy market in Tripoli where they planned to detonate it.
