Sometimes, the iextremist desire for women to be covered from head-to-toe doesn’t work out for radical Islamic terrorists. This is doubly true when the people covered up aren’t women.
According to the U.K. Express, eight soldiers with British special forces dressed in full burqas and pretended to be the wives of senior Islamic State group officials to enter a group stronghold in Raqqa, Syria, and help kill a senior leader of the group via a drone strike.
Reports state that the burqa-clad special forces members carried assault weapons, grenades and ammo under their religious garb. They walked through town until they reached the leader’s safe house. They then radioed in the location, after which a drone strike promptly dispatched the commander.
After the drone strike, things got a bit hairy.
“The SAS team were moving back to their vehicles after the missile had struck when the town went into lockdown,” a source told British newspapers. “Gunmen were on the streets stopping everyone, lining people up against the walls and threatening to kill anyone who had helped the ‘spies.'”
“Just as the British soldiers were getting back into a minivan several gunmen ordered them to stop,” according to the Express. “The troopers ignored the warnings and were about to drive off when the jihadis opened fire.”
However, if you think that’s where the story turns bad, you clearly don’t know just how cowardly the Islamic State group savages are.
“The SAS jumped out of the vehicle, lifted up their burqas and opened fire. It must have been a massive shock to the gunmen,” the source said. “One was killed instantly and two others ran off. The firefight gave the SAS just enough time to break contact with the Isis gunmen and escape.”
Pfft. Scared off by a bunch of fake girls. It couldn’t have happened to a better bunch of people.
