A British sniper killed five Taliban insurgents and a would-be suicide bomber in Afghanistan with one bullet, the Ministry of Defence has said.
The 20-year-old marksman, a lance corporal in the Coldstream Guards, hit the trigger switch of the device from 930 yards away, causing the bomb to explode.
The blast killed the would-be bomber and five men around him, an MOD spokesman said.

Goddamn!! And I was proud of hitting a deer at 330 yards.
Of course, there was a huge difference in equipment, but still. Damn.
