SAS Snipers Kill Baghdad Suicide Squad

British Special Air Service (SAS) snipers killed three suicide bombers in Baghdad in July as part of an undercover, shoot-to-kill operation.

Each terrorist was wearing a suicide vest laden with explosives. They were intending to target cafes and restaurants frequented by members of the Iraqi security forces.

Details of the mission remained secret until now primarily because it was launched the same week that a police unit in London shot dead a Brazilian electrician in the mistaken belief that he was a suicide bomber.
