Plot[]
Since September 11, 2001, the CIA has been dedicated to destroying Al Qaeda and the Taliban. An agent known as Red Fox arrived in a village to talk to Mula Hakim, a Taliban commander, to convince him to join the fight against terrorism, he could be of great help.
But somehow the Taliban found out and sent an assassin, a sniper known as "The One Who Never Misses", he was armed with a McMillan Tac-50 sniper rifle, capable of killing at more than 1 mile away and he was wearing a ghillie suit, camouflage clothing designed to resemble heavy foliage.
While Red Fox and Mula Hakim discussed what their next steps would be, the sniper adjusted his scope, aimed at Red Fox and fired, but fortunately he missed, the bullet flew out at 2800 feet per second and ricocheted off the turret of the car and a stone wall, Red Fox and Mula Hakim ran and fortunately managed to get to safety, while the bullet, which even after 2 ricochets was still traveling at about 1300 feet per second, returned to the sender, hit him in the chest, destroyed his heart and killed him instantly, sending him to Jahannam.
Narrator: The war on terror is fought one battle at a time. In this case, the good guys were the target. But in the end,the sniper was the one who got.... sniped.

- In the death the ricochet bullet hits the Taliban Sniper in the back but in the recap CGI the bullet hits in the chest.
