…Just Three Bullets.

"* SAS veteran took out group of jihadis with three well-aimed shots in Iraq
* Three terrorists and two guards killed as they left bomb factory near Mosul
* SAS sniper unleashed fire after men wore heavy coats to cover suicide vest
* Jihadists were on their way to launch deadly suicide bomb attack on town

An SAS sniper was able to stop a group of jihadis launching a sickening suicide bomb attack by killing the terrorists with just three bullets in a dramatic shoot-out in an ISIS-held part of Iraq.

The marksman, who joined the SAS a decade ago, potentially saved the lives of hundreds of innocent people by firing three well-aimed shots at the jihadists as they left a bomb factory near Mosul…"

Someone buy that man a couple of pints.

"Suicide vest" and "suicide attack" should be changed to "homicide".

If they were just committing suicide, I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Long life to the SAS!

Great new…
Hope for the "victims", it counts to have each the 72 virgins!

Hang on its in the Daily Mail, therefore probably it never actually happened.

Yes, excellent, right!

Seriously words count.

I guess The Mirror must have invented the story at the same time, then:

Get that soldier a pint! Well done.

Oy SAS !!!! guinness

Anyone ever wonder about those virgins?
I heard they are Nuns … with Guns !!!!! huh?

PHGamer14 Dec 2015 9:35 a.m. PST

The joke over in the US is that all that 72 virgins is all a mistranslation. They will be met by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and 70 other Virginians.

I read a few years back that there was only one proven "Double Kill", single bullet shot, but also by a British Marksman. Nailed two while riding a motorcycle. Either by the bullet or the crash, two dead.

That would include Bobby Lee ! Now that makes even more sense !

Well if they made a movie of this Gent and called it "UK Sniper", like the US movie, "American Sniper" … many would say it is anti-moslem. I guess Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers were anti-German too, then ? And "Wind Talkers" anti-Japanese ? Is the Marvel "Avengers" movie and "Independence Day" anti-Alien ?

Is there anything that specifies that the "…72 virgins…" are women?

Or why the women go around completely covered? Cold it be that they have all the beauty, grace and demure personality of Rosie O'Donnell on steroids?
----------------------
Not historical/cultural/religious etc reasons then – they're wearing burkas etc because they are ugly??

Hopefully your comment was ironic other its a bit like those by some men who say that all women who 'drive on the opposite side of the street' are very ugly and couldn't get a man anyway. I would imagine that they have the same range of physical attributes as women in any other culture

oh so they are not after our women then – well cross that one off the list of the white man's inadequacy fears then

" Is the Marvel "Avengers" movie and "Independence Day" anti-Alien ?"

Not quite. Anti-ILLEGAL Alien!

GNREP8-
"all women who 'drive on the opposite side of the street' are very ugly"

It is not nice to make fun of women's driving skills! That's so 1950s.

That is true … I guess you could consider Thor an alien ? Was he vetted by ICE ?

I'm sure we all have seen some photos of the women from Region. And in many cases they are or could be as attractive as Western women. Especially once they get all "dolled up" like Western females. But as we know beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

OT but some of the best looking women I've ever seen are Middle Eastern, especially Iranians.

Good to see the SAS quietly maintaining their rep as the world's most fearsome special forces unit.
