The mysterious sniper that ISIS fears

October 26, 2016 By: Stephen Dietrich

The Islamic State has spent years terrorizing citizens around the Iraqi city of Mosul, using brutal torture and public executions to keep the millions of civilians in line.

Now the tables have been turned, according to a report from The Sun.

As Iraqi forces close in on the Islamic terror stronghold, a lone wolf sniper has ISIS fighters looking over their shoulder everywhere they go.

The mysterious rifleman has been created with at least four ISIS kills around the city, and may have left even more jihadist bodies baking in the sun than that.

“The sniper has been hunting down militants in broad daylight, with the most recent hit unfolding during a public beheading,” according to Fox News.

“Iraqi media outlets on Monday reported the shooter had killed an ISIS executioner just seconds before he could behead a local teen who was accused of supporting resistance movements within Mosul. His bullet struck the terror thug just as he was taking aim at the boy’s neck, sources said. The attack prompted the terrorists to frantically open fire and scatter as they attempted to find cover.”

Despite the mysterious sniper’s daring attack, ISIS fighters killed the boy before he was able to escape.

Still, the constant threat of death on the streets they supposedly control must cause many sleepless nights among the Islamic terrorists clinging on to Mosul.

Terror for terrorists? We can subscribe to that idea.

    Kill them all.

      Steven – I agree, but I would round them up and then kill them in the same manner that they killed their victims by, beheadings, drownings, setting on fire, thrown off buildings, stoneing to death or by whatever other means they employed. It would make no difference to me as long as they suffered the same end as their victims did – animals that they are. And in the event we couldn’t determine how they dispatched of their victims then those should be sent to live with the Obama’s, Clinton’s, Kerry’s, Peolisis, Reid’s and the remainder of the “Liberal Elitist Leftists” a _ _ holes for rehabilitation.

        Steven – I forgot to include OracleGuy and those of his ilk as additional housing possibilities for those ISIS members captured. Let the left wake up in the morning to insure they get their morning coffee before speeding off to morning prayers.

        Considering what John G. said, we are just as bad as ISIS. We kill more defenseless babies than what ISIS kills. Not only does Murder Incorporated kill babies but profits from their acts of inhumanity. Now there those in academia who proclaim that it is all right to kill little ones up to about 3 years old, which does not include the killing of Senior Citizens by Obama care death panels judging who gets to live or die. With the possibility of becoming a socialist nation, you ain’t seen nutin yet.

          It is a totally different situation. The terrorist hate and want to rule the world through killing people who do not have the same beliefs. Abortion is murder yes and is wrong but it is under different circumstances. I am not saying abortion is right, it is too bad that people cannot be intelligent enough to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy. Heaven help us all if Hillary and her policies of bringing in unlimited refugees and giving them Obamacare come to pass.

        Killing individual ISIS fighters is good, but not good enough. Yes, you reduce their numbers by one, but now his family is proud, has compensation money, and life is good for them. And when little Mohammed grows older, he’ll follow in his brothers footsteps and become a martir too.
        Middle eastern families are very tight. Individuals will gladly sacrifice themselves for the greater good of the family.
        COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT is the only way to reach those people. The suicide bombings will continue as long as the families of the bombers are safe and sound enjoing their bloody compensation.
        Once the suicide bombers are identified, (DNA from remains) than the whole family need to be severely retaliated against. Their property bombed, surviving members harassed, dispossesed even killed. Islam is a primitive religion, just perfect for a society that has been inbreeding for the last 1300 yars. Modern solutions are not effective. To stop the carnage we have to resort to medieval tactics.

      I am afraid that the only good terrorist you will ever find is on his way to ‘paradise’, preparing to unload his weapon on some innocent virgin. Islam is a ‘sexually transmitted disease’ for which paradise virgins are the only cure.

      A .338 round is much cheaper, way more accurate…and doesn’t create collateral damage.

        Thinking that, tracking down one sniper is more difficult–still, perhaps to ‘inspire’ others to follow suit!
        Good for him and ‘Good Hunting’!!! May you be blessed and protected!

      Woodlands 60, I Agree. I Would like to shake his hand and say ‘thank you’ – Keep on ‘picking them off, One By One. I pray for your safety.

    • Danny says

      October 26, 2016 at 4:05 pm

      Yes woodlands60 I’m with you all the way. I hope he stays safe and is able to kill many many more. God bless him or her whoever they are.

    I’ve been hearing through my old back channels that this guy is an American Mil-Vet. Anyone else hearing that by chance?

    • Debby Pratt says

      October 26, 2016 at 12:19 pm

      It would be extremely unwise to ‘identify’ this man! If ‘we’ can identify him–so can ‘others’!

    October 26, 2016 at 11:31 am

    Wonderful news for once. God bless the boy. Maybe there will be more like him after this gets out. Way to go phantom. God bless you.

    October 26, 2016 at 11:46 am

    One shot, one kill, love it! A sniper can pin down a whole platoon of men, or in this case a crowd of drugged up cult members!

    TO PC FOR ME!!

  8. John Soroka says

    October 26, 2016 at 11:55 am

    We should place hundreds of squads of snipers in strategic places and just pick them off at the rate of around 200 per day. It would cause extreme terror to these cowardly terrorists. It would eliminate collateral damage and completely wipe this fecal matter from the face of the earth. Why not be smart and do things the right way. Piss on being politically correct.

    • Georgia says

      October 26, 2016 at 12:19 pm

      John Soroka, I Love Your Plan. I wish it would happen.

        The President has very effectively – – and at very low cost – – used the following Instruments of Death with great success: 1. Special Forces, 2. Snipers – quadrupled their numbers, 3. Deadly Drones, 4. Getting the Locals to pick up the fight & acquire some respect; and, they have! The Iraqi Army and the Kurds have done well; both, profiting – – at great risk – – from Local Intel.

          Personally I do not trust this admin. There are no press boots on the ground in Iraq or anywhere now since all info seems to come through the WH where it can be massaged to make O’s dream of being America’s greatest prez, a legend in his own mind, come true? Facts and reality can be easily turned into press releases from the muslim WH.

    • Debby Pratt says

      October 26, 2016 at 12:32 pm

      My ‘point’ exactly! Seems our military and you, love the ‘flash and ‘glam” of ‘more, bigger and better’!! The success of this ‘lone wold’ is because he IS ‘lone’!! He comes and goes unpredictably. No ‘other’ person knows his identity or his next move, so no one can betray him. He’s as hard to find as a ‘particular’ flea on your dog’s back!! Perhaps two or three ‘others’ could also successfully operate this way but–the ‘more’ there are, the easier they are to find. Not smart, at all, having ‘groups’ of snipers.

  9. RottenRollin says

    October 26, 2016 at 11:57 am

    Is that a 50bmg on his back, or a Boys anti-tank gun?

  10. Debby Pratt says

    October 26, 2016 at 12:23 pm

    Seems my ‘previous comment’ was ‘kicked out’!! Reason why? I simply stated that identifying this person would be
    very ‘unwise’!! If ‘we’ can trace his identity, so can ‘others’!! Leave it be! (Let’s see if this one registers)

    When a pimple shows up pop It. I lived while a teenager in the middle East and you don’t negotiate with these people, unless you are in the market (buying something ), you kill them. There was this Jewish fellow walking on the beach, coming in the other direction, an Arab. When they met on the sandy beach, there was a small brass lantern in the sand. The Arab grabbed it stating it was his. At that moment a Genie popped out. You both found it therefore I Will grant you each one wish. The Arab said that he will go first. Fine, what is your wish? I wish to have a 100′ impenetrable wall built all around my Kingdom. Poof it was done. And what is your wish, he asked the Jewish fellow? He thought for a second, and said, flood it.

    IMO we now live in a controlled/manipulated news/info environment! A virtual moat has been built around DC and the govt by the insiders. Instead of enforcing immigration laws, which are a virtual fence at the nation’s borders they have built this virtual wall, moat or whatever to keep them safe and secure in their elected office. I will add. Mr. Trump, tear down this virtual wall!
