ISIS chiefs are feeling the pressure from mystery sniper

Libyan ISIS chiefs are fearful of being picked off by a renegade sniper, who has already been credited with three long-range kills of high-profile figures within the new Libyan “mini-caliphate” in the city of Sirte.

The terrorists holed up in Colonel Gaddafi’s hometown still don’t know if the sniper is one person or several. The killings started on January 13, with the latest kill made 10 days after that. This has the Islamic State fearing someone is on a mission to hunt them down.

And they appear to be showing it, too. The terror group has been carrying out arrests and executions in the town, the Telegraph reports. Black-clad “religious police” have also been carrying out public floggings to keep the population in a perpetual state of fear.
