Allah’s sniper

�A day or two later they sent me a note asking me to take care of an officer in an American convoy who was involved in negotiating ceasefire conditions with officials from Falluja,� he said.

The insurgents ordered him to a mosque. �I was scared as I made my way there. It was my first mission and my mind was racing: would I get the target or would I not?� He climbed up to the minaret with a member of a surveillance team that had identified the American officer as a target and was able to point him out among a group of soldiers in the street below.

Before setting up his rifle, Abu Othman said takbeers � repeating Allahu akbar (God is greatest) over and over again. �I looked through the scope, worked out the calculations and fired. I saw him drop in the middle of the soldiers, and they began firing at the mosque as we sped downstairs.

So, I'm to take it that someone who was negotiating a ceasefire that would save lives is a viable assasination target????  I'm not talking about the other snipers...that's war...but the officer that was negotiating the end of hostilities????  How many lives could have been spared if he hadn't been shot?

ak,

I hope so, for everyone's sake. 

there is even one level in which there is a civil war and the bad guys try to get an air drop of food because they are suggested to have gotten tired from eating "berries and squirrel meat" The bad guys do not speak english by the way.
