Scottish Sniper Kills Taliban Leader With Longest Shot*
A Scottish soldier has been praised for making the longest recorded kill in Afghanistan after shooting a top Taliban fighter from almost a mile away. Corporal Christopher Reynolds took out the Afghan drug lord during some of the hardest fighting of the war so far.
The 25-year-old, of 3 Scots, The Black Watch, kept watch on a shop rooftop for three days to eliminate the target. But he admitted the top-level Taliban fighter – known as Musa– was so far away it took him a couple of attempts to get the aim right
* Possibly means longest shot this year or by a British serviceman,
longest confirmed kill was by a Canadian sniper in Afghanistan in 2002 of 1.51 miles
