AMAZING SHOT BY HERO SCOT IN AFGHANISTAN WAR ZONE
A CRACKSHOT Scots squaddie has killed a feared Taliban warlord - from a mile away.
Corporal Christopher Reynolds shot the high profile Afghan drug baron dead during ferocious fighting, notching up the longest range confirmed kill in Afghanistan.
The 25-year-old waited on a shop rooftop in southern Afghanistan for three days to take out the top-level Taliban commander - called Musa - who co-ordinated dozens of attacks against British and US soldiers.
Cpl Reynolds, of 3 Scots, The Black Watch, has already killed 32 other Taliban fighters during some of the hardest fighting of the Afghan campaign.
His comrade, Sergeant Daniel Buist, carried out another amazing attack on the Taliban.
He killed one of their snipers - who spoke with a Birmingham accent - who was shooting from a tiny hole in a wall more than half a mile away.
