‘A BRITISH sniper killed five Taliban insurgents and a would-be suicide bomber in Afghanistan with one bullet, the British Ministry of Defence says.
The 20-year-old marksman, a lance corporal in the Coldstream Guards, hit the trigger switch of the device from 930 metres away, causing the bomb to explode.
The blast killed the would-be bomber and five men around him, a Defence spokesman said…’ ![]()
Is it Christmas? I hope this isn’t an April fool’s….
I don’t think so, Cad. I heard it from another source a few weeks ago but couldn’t verify it. It seemed odd that there was no mention of it elsewhere at the time so I filed it under “nice if true”.
Anyway, he may not have hit the trigger for the device, since the delivered energy would probably have been enough to detonate the vest.
