Such a sad story. I heard and have not been able to confirm the shooter was taken out with a airstike.

RIP lads.

Yes unfortunately the weapon of choice for the bad guys is not always the state of the art rocket launcher, our boys are constantly finding old smles and no4s and mausers in caches all the time. The other unfortunate thing is that these weapons will out distance most of our small arms by a good 600m or more, but the old paper scissors air strike works every time. RIP to our brave and courageuos fighting men.
