A SNIPER has killed a jihadi killer and three thugs with one bullet from almost a mile away in Syria, with the ISIS killers just moments away from murdering hostages with a flame-thrower.
The marksman sent the bullet flying into a fuel tank from about 1500 metres away, with the fireball exploding and killing four people.

One of the men, who is understood to have regularly burnt prisoners alive, had been on British and US special forces kill list for months.
A source told The Daily Star that up to 12 civilians – eight men and four women – were going to be murdered in the planned terrorist attack.
The victims were reportedly tied to stakes or trapped in cages before the expected execution.
A source told the Daily Star said: “None of them were agents. The ISIS killers knew that but just wanted to instil fear into the local population.
“The executioner gave some sort of rambling speech over a loud hailer then when he finished the SAS sniper opened fire.
“The bullet struck the fuel container and it exploded immediately. He was incinerated and several of his henchmen were also killed.”
It is understood special forces in Syria had been targeting the terrorist for months.

It is understood the attack took place in a small village close to the town of Raqqa in Northern Syria after special forces were tipped off to the terrorist’s whereabouts.
The tip reportedly came from a Syrian CIA agent.
The sniper, who used a Barrett .50, killed the terrorist with the three men reportedly at the scene to film the planned execution also killed.
It is understood the terrorist group had been travelling around ISIS hotspots to slaughter civilians, targeting those they said were enemy agents.
The flame thrower has reportedly become a popular weapon of choice for ISIS terrorists after seeing it used in North Korea.
The civilians who had been targeted in the attack were later rescued by British and US special forces.
