An SAS sniper took out two ISIS car bombers with a single shot when they were driving towards their target in Libya

The jihadis were transporting a massive bomb to Tripoli where they planned to detonate it in a packed market, intelligence revealed. After the marksmen took out his targets, their white 1990s Mercedes which was travelling at 30mph came to a halt. Libyan troops, who were working with the SAS on the ambush, then sprayed the car with machine gun fire until it exploded in a raging fireball.

 
this is HUGE. if it's true. car bomb are still relatively rare -they happen, but mostly at checkpoints and I can't recall one in Tripoli
( so much mayhem in Libya it's difficult to remember it all) -and where bombs are used they are not used in markets like Iraq.

i'll post this on th Libyan blog thread - an amazing fete by the SAS --> Libyan Civil War ~ 2014 - Present

interesting. there is no reportage from Sirte except Misrata Brigades, and some 2nd hand stuff from the GNA ( unity gov't).

I find the strafing by gunships to be difficult to believe, unless the covert war is much further along then known -
which is possible considering the wet's and Libya's desire to get rid of ISIS
