Don't know if this was posted but this is amazing.

A sharpshooter killed a top ISIS executioner and three other jihadists with a single bullet from nearly a mile away — just seconds before the fiend was set to burn 12 hostages alive with a flamethrower, according to a new report. The British Special Air Service marksman turned one of the most hated terrorists in Syria into a fireball by using a Barett .50-caliber rifle to strike a fuel tank affixed to the jihadi’s back, the UK’s Daily Star reported Sunday

As was I, but it is not necessary. What I am picturing in my head is plenty beautiful.

Just before the sniper rescue operation outside of Raqqa, Syria, “the SAS team moved into an overwatch position above a village where they were told the execution was going to take place,” a source told the Star.
“Up to 12 civilians were going to be murdered — eight men and four women.
“The executioner gave some sort of rambling speech .?.?. then when he finished, the SAS sniper opened fire,” the source said.
The captives were then rescued by British and US special forces.
Well done, good guys. Well done.

Looks like this a-hole got to taste his futile in hell just a little bit earlier.

I would say the only negative to this outcome, is the SOB was dead before he got to feel himself burning.

That .50-caliper sniper rifle is mean. I've read it's taken out badasses behind concrete walls.

As nice as this story sounds, it's rather dubious. The link cites another story from the UK's Daily Star, a tabloid. That story makes no mention of a dramatic last minute stay of execution.
Instead, it says an SAS team wanted to kill some jihadis in a building that was protected by civilian human shields, so they couldn't bomb it. Instead they fired about 30 sniper rounds through a concrete wall and found three dead jihadis later.
They did save a bunch of civilians, but it wasn't because they were facing execution by flamethrower.

I think most of these one-off IS-related stories are dubious.
