ISIS executioner 'is beheaded by SAS sniper's special bullet as he demonstrated how to decapitate prisoners'

• A SAS sniper has shot an ISIS commander from 4,000ft away, it is claimed
• The ISIS commander was teaching 20 other jihadis how to decapitate
• But a witness said the ISIS boss's own head 'exploded' when he was hit

(Daily Mail) A SAS sniper has beheaded an ISIS executioner with a single shot while the militant was teaching jihadis how to decapitate prisoners, it has been reported.

Some 20 Islamic fighters were taking part in the executioner's outdoor lesson when he was killed by the elite British soldier - hiding 4,000ft away and using specially-designed 'wounding' bullets.

A witness said the entire group of student jihadis then fled, deserting their cause after the ill fated training session at a small village in northern Syria.

A witness told The Daily Express the SAS sniper was using a Dan.338 rifle with a suppressor to prevent any noise and flash giving away his position.

Aiming a foot to the side of his target in order to adjust for wind, it was expected the cruel commander - known as the local executioner - would require two shots to kill.

Instead, the first bullet - designed to tumble as it travels, in order to maim - struck him in the back of the head.

The source 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.

'He was an extremely sadistic and ruthless individual, feared by the locals and the jihadis alike.'

And just to put a cherry on top, the DAN.338 sniper rifle is developed and produced by Israel Weapon Industries.

SAS deploy 'mannequin army' of shop dummies to lure ISIS jihadis into ambush

British Special Forces used mannequins as a decoy to lure Islamic State fighters into an ambush

(Daily Express) The operation targeted an ISIS unit that had been making repeated strikes on Kurdish Peshmerga forces.

The top-secret mission took place two weeks ago near the town of Bussayrah, close to the Euphrates River, and involved a joint force of UK and American troops.

At least a dozen shop mannequins were dressed in Kurdish combat uniforms before being flown in by members of the SAS.

Some were posed holding weapons, as if on lookout, while others were arranged to look like they were sleeping or talking.

Within hours IS fighters, tipped off by local tribesmen, arrived and attacked the buildings with rocket-propelled grenades.

The Special Forces unit, which had lain in wait in three separate groups, opened fire, trapping the insurgents in the open ground and preventing any escape.

Last night a senior Army officer said: "Sometimes you have to think like the enemy in order to defeat your enemy.

"If you can force him to come to you at a time of your choosing then stun him with surprise, you will succeed."

Best comment: "Should have used an army of goat mannequins. Would have attracted more of them."
