British Sniper Puts Fear of Allah Into Taliban
Fusilier Martin Williams described shooting the insurgents as a “vendetta” against those who killed his friend Robert Hunt, who was the 200th soldier to die in Afghanistan.Oh yeah, and Juba Sucks!His skills were put to the test when his patrol came under fire after it moved into a compound in an area north of Lashkar Gah in central Helmand last Monday. He took up his position and waited patiently for enemy troops to appear. His victims included two Taliban shot in a ditch at a distance of about 800 yards, including one who was hit in the throat.
“He put his hand out as if asking someone to help but not one came,” the Welshman said. “There was definitely less movement after I dropped them.
“The Taliban are used to machine guns but as soon as you get a sniper on the ground, it puts the fear of God into them.”
