Sorry, this is nonsense..... Flame throwers are specifically designed not to explode when hit. They don¿t pressurise the fuel because the fuel tank getting breached is a very common risk on a battlefield and would kill everyone nearby . A separate pressure tank propels the fuel. It was a lesson learned in the trenches of the WW1. So no, that would not have happened....Mookins007
Complete rubbish - Special Forces do not leak stories to the popular press and especially not the gutter press like The Star. Any SF soldier leaking such details would find himself 'RTU' but the Star can publish such made up garbage safe in the knowledge it cannot be confirmed or denied !!!!!!!!!!!!!Sgt. Mitty
1500m, not bad but when I was in we used to take shots at 2000m, after walking 75km and not eating for 6 days. And that was after my foot was blown offAquabloomReply toSgt. Mitty
Alright, wait a minute... Let's give Sgt. Mitty the benefit of the doubt. If he was a soldier, shot from 2000 m, yet lost his leg, let's thank him for his service and sacrifice. However, Sgt. Mitty your getting a lot of down arrows because you're not acknowledging the amazing soldier who saved the lives of not only the prisoners, they saved the village!! That's amazing. I know it's hard not to be bitter when lost your leg. Your whole lifestyle changed and we thank you for your sacrifice. Oh, if you're really not a soldier. You've insulted every soldier who sacrificed their lives and their families. I try be optimistic about life because it's hell otherwise and easy to want to give up. Let's hope your story is true, then that's honor. But don't forget to honor this soldier.Pastor.Bob.Celeste

These stories we keep hearing about Special Forces sound completely incredible. Are they written by Andy McNab's ghost writer? I mean this one is bordering on the ridiculous, but carry on.pinhead
I just contacted Hollywood and they told me an American killed him from 10,000 metres whilst blindfolded.Matthew Bischoff
Who cares? You betrayed the Kurds who gave their blood to defend their and yours land and for whom did you betray them? The tyrant Erdogan, but I guess he was more important. The Kurds stateless for centuries have been used and betrayed by everyone.Rick

Well done! Now if you could save them from an American drone strike that would be great...Canadian GalReply totymarq
tymarq -- I think you missed this sentence "Shortly after the explosion, the prisoners - thought to be civilians - were freed by British and US special forces." *** By the way -- heartfelt thoughts and condolences to you and to all Americans today, on the 15th anniversary of that unforgettable atrocity. xo
