Mr Nad-e Ali, shot two British solders with one bullet. Read on!!!
Source UK The Sun.
A CRACK Royal Marine sniper is gunning for a Taliban marksman who murdered two British Paras in Afghanistan with one shot.
The sniper, who cannot be named, is known as The Doctor for his clinical shooting skills. The 39-year-old is one of Britain's best ever snipers, and was awarded medals for his shooting in Iraq.
One of a team of six Commandos hunting the Taliban sharp-shooter, he lies silent and still for eight hours a day in the Afghan heat waiting for his target. He told The Sun yesterday: "This man is our high-value target. He knows what he's doing."
The Doctor credits the Paras for tracking the insurgent. Now he and his team hope for a tip-off as to his exact whereabouts so they can try to take him out with a long-distance shot.
British troops have tried FIVE times to kill the murderer. Known only as the Nad-e Ali sniper, the 55-year-old has been described in intelligence reports as "the most well-trained and patient assassin we have come up against in Afghanistan".
He devastated 3 Para when he killed two young Paras in February. He has also hit other Paras and Royal Engineers serving in the Nad-e Ali region of Helmand Province.
The ex-Mujahideen sniper, who walks with a limp and uses an old British Enfield rifle, lives outside the region and stalks it on his motorbike.
The Doctor said: "We'll do everything we can to find him. But the Paras did a great job in tracking him. If we get him, the credit will be all theirs."
