Abu Tahseen, a veteran of five wars who now is taking out ISIS with his incredible marksmanship.
Last March Tahseen reportedly had killed 173 Daesh fighters since May of 2015. Despite being 63-years-old, Tasheen hasn’t even thought about retirement. In fact, he has upped his ISIS kill count to 321 jihadis since 2015.
Tasheen, known as the “Silver Sniper,” has vowed to liberate his home country of Iraq from ISIS. Tahaseen is a member of the Hashd Al-Shaabi, a Shia militia that is combating Islamic State.
Prior to Iraqi Civil War, al-Salhi participated in the Yom Kippur War, the Iran–Iraq War, the invasion of Kuwait, the Gulf War as well as the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. According to al-Salhi, in the Yom Kippur War he was part of an Iraqi brigade fighting on Golan Heights. Around May 2015 al-Salhi joined the Popular Mobilization Forces and became stationed in the Makhoul Mountains, northern Iraq, armed with a Steyr rifle
Tasheen was so consumed with sniping Daesh that he was placed on leave, but that didn’t stoped him sniping out ISIS followers.
“Last time they gave me a month off and after 12 days I came back,” Tasheen said.
Tasheen always has his trusty Steyr HS .50 at his side and says he likes the sniper riffle because it knocks jihadis “back one metre before putting him down.”
The Silver Sniper is currently in Mosul in an attempt to flush out Daesh from the Iraqi city, ISIL’s last major stronghold in the country. There he has teamed up with Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Units to eradicate ISIS from Iraq.
Iraqi Army forces have recaptured the Mosul Airport as well as neighborhood in western part of the city, which was the last significant urban area ISIL held in Iraq.
According to the Popular Mobilization Forces spokesman, Tasheen was killed as he advanced on Hawija in Iraq. His funeral took place on 30 September 2017
