An SAS officer armed with a shotgun has killed five jihadis during a dawn raid, it has been reported.
The intense fire fight was over in just seven seconds, and quickly led to the militant group's surrender of the stronghold.
The covert operation took place on an Islamic State outpost in Baghdad, Iraq.
MI6 agents, working with Iraq's special forces, had identified the building as a suspected bomb factory from which militants would carry out attacks.
A 12-man SAS team was then sent to watch the house for several days.
Upon receiving reports of a planned multiple suicide bombing, the team planned a dawn raid for the next day.
A 'breach team' were the first to enter, breaking through a doorway into a courtyard.
However they were soon faced by a group of heavily armed men, who had reportedly just finished morning prayers and were loading weapons into a vehicle.
One of the officers, armed with a Benelli M4 Super 90 semi-automatic shotgun, fired at them, killing three would-be bombers.
Another two terrorists then appeared from a building, but before they could fire off a shot they had been neutralised them as well.
'The terrorists were no more than a few feet away when the SAS team came face to face with them,' a source told the Daily Star about the raid late last year.
'One of the breach team opened fire with a shotgun and shot dead three before they could get a shot off. Another two terrorists appeared from a building and he neutralised them as well.
'Several other terrorists emerged from the building but immediately surrendered and began panicking as two of the bodies didn’t have heads – they thought they were about to be executed.'
It was reported that two suicide vests, one weighing 30lbs, were found on the dead men. They were made mostly from ball bearings and plastic explosives.
At least one officer on a raid is armed with a 12 gauge pump-action Benelli shotgun, which is usually used to blast through locks and remove hinges from doors.

A friend who commanded a DEA breaching team told me his shotgun was usually loaded with slugs made of dental cement for taking out door locks and/or hinges. I can see that kind of load being able to behead someone with the right shot placement. Jerry

Two points--I doubt it was an officer and since when is an M4 a pump action?

Yeah, dumbphuck--that's a semi auto. It's the M3 that can be pump or auto. I know who leads teams, but I also know that the breacher with a shotgun isn't normally an officer.

Like you, the media is FOS. The article said M4 BUT also quoted a "pump." The easiest solution is to check the TOE of an SAS Team. I was just pointing out that an M4 exists (which your poorly worded post alludes to). As to the officer, I suppose we'll never know, but he was most likely a non-commissioned officer, which is a typical error made by the media. you must read a lot...

I was merely pointing out the mistakes in the article and you jumped on me and now have agreed with both the points that I raised.

"Dental Cement"? For the life of me I can't think of a product we have that would do the job. I'd like to here more about it.

I've always heard that breaching rounds were powdered lead that was held together by epoxy or other substance. Here it is... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaching_round

The local Sportsman’s warehouse has 12ga “pre-fragmented” breaching rounds for sale.
If I had to guess I’d imagine that the first few rounds are breaching rounds and the rest are buckshot. Either way a headless haji is a good haji.
It’s unfortunate that they took prisoners.
