    Mystery gunman credited with shooting three of the terror group's leaders in their new "Caliphate" in Colonel Gaddafi's home city of Sirte

    As befits all the best practitioners of his shadowy trade, no-one is quite sure whether he is one man or many, or even simply an urban legend. But after a string of assassinations of its local henchmen, the Islamic State's new "Caliphate" in the Libyan city of Sirte is abuzz with talk that an anti-Isil sniper is at work. In recent weeks, no fewer than three Isil commanders in Sirte have been shot dead from long range, according to local media.

    The killings - reported to be the work of a sniper who honed his skills in Libya’s uprising against Colonel Gaddafi - are said to have sowed panic among Isil's forces in the city, who have carried a string of arrests and executions in a bid to track down the culprit.

    The Sirte assassin's most recent casualty, according to social media reports from Sirte, was Abdullah Hamad Al-Ansari, an Isil commander from southern Libyan city of Obari, who was shot dead on January 23 as he left a city centre mosque.
    The birthplace of Libya's late Colonel Gaddafi, Sirte has been under Islamic State control since last summer, Libyan intelligence officials estimating that there may now be up to 2,000 jihadist fighters now based there.
    The port city’s new masters have made brutal examples of opponents, via a regime of floggings and beheadings enforced by black-masked religious police.

    I don't think they like the thought of that.

    Too bad for them.

    Easy route of escape perhaps. Hope he keeps those backwards jihadis up at night.

    Looks like ISIS is still worried about the sniper...

    An ISIS killer in a wheelchair has been pictured crucifying a 'spy' in Libya.

    The bizarre and horrifying image was released by al-Hayat, the terror thugs' propaganda arm, reports Newsweek.

    It shows the killer sat next to a kneeling man in a jumpsuit and is captioned with the words “the execution of spies in the city of Sirte”.

    More images released by the terror group show other 'spies' after they were savagely murdered.

    The picture was released after it emerged that a mysterious sharp-shooter has ISIS on the run after taking out three Daesh chiefs in Libya .

    Three Islamic State bosses are thought to have been taken out by the same sniper according to local reports.
