Mystery sniper assassinating ISIS leaders in Libya...

Today's feel good story.... 

Via IB Times:
Islamic State (Isis) commanders fighting in Libya are thought to have been targeted by a lone sniper, who has killed 3 high-level jihadis in just 10 days. As Daesh (IS) extremists gain ground in the war-torn north African country, a sharpshooter is said to be at work in the city of Sirte, systematically picking-off IS commanders one-by-one.
And, according to local media in the former Muammar Gaddaffi-stronghold, IS are now sweeping the city hunting for the marksman, dubbed on social media as the ‘Daesh hunter’. The coastal city has been overrun by the terror group, who now roam the streets freely.

Steven Spielberg to make movie based on "American Sniper" book...




The book American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History
 is awesome. If Spielberg can avoid injecting liberal politics into the movie, it should be great. We will see.

Via Hollywood Reporter:
Steven Spielberg has found his next directing project: an adaptation of American Sniper, the autobiography of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, which is set up at Warner Bros.
Bradley Cooper is attached to star and has been developing the project as a producer.
Spielberg also will produce with Andrew Lazar via his Mad Chance Productions along with Peter Morgan.
The book, whose complete title is American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, reveals how Texas native Kyle came to record the highest number of sniper kills for an American. The book has been praised for its frankness in telling a first-person account of a warrior who shoots from far and close distances.
Kyle made news earlier this year when he tragically was killed at a shooting range by a fellow vet in February.

Strange: Iran deploys snipers in Tehran...

The snipers are reportedly shooting cat-sized rats.
Well, now there are reports that the poison isn't working that well and that the rat population still outnumbers the Iranian capital's humans. So, as The Times of London and Abu Dhabi's The National report, sniper squads have been deployed.
The National says:
"Ten teams of sharpshooters armed with rifles equipped with infra-red sights have bagged more than 2,000 of the brutish rodents in recent weeks, city officials told state media. That's a drop in the ocean: Iran's rat population easily outnumbers the sprawling capital's 12 million inhabitants. The city council is now boosting the number of sniper squads to 40, officials said.
" 'It's become a 24/7 war,' a grim-faced Mohammad Hadi Heydarzadeh, the head of Tehran municipality's environmental agency, declared on state television last month."

John Allen Muhammad Will Get The Needle Tuesday


The DC sniper mastermind, John Allen Muhammad, has lost his appeal to the Supreme Court for a stay of his execution. Muhammad will die by lethal injection for the slaying of Dean Harold Meyers at a gas station during a three-week spree in 2002. Muhammad is also implicated in several other shootings. The sniper attacks terrorized residents of Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C. in 2002.

From FOX News:
The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to block Tuesday's scheduled execution of sniper mastermind John Allen Muhammad.

The Court did not comment Monday on why it refused to consider his appeal.
Muhammad is scheduled to die by injection at a Virginia prison for the slaying of Dean Harold Meyers at a gas station during a three-week spree in October 2002 across Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.


Don't holds your breath waiting for Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine to grant clemency.
