[news.com.au]
A technical take on the story, complete with trigger warning, with reference to the unknown "Da'esh Hunter".

Both reports will repay your attention, dear Reader.

#3  "But a witness said the ISIS boss's own head 'exploded'" - that is still "decapitation" in my book.

Heavy slugs tumble from a slow twist. When they do, there is no accuracy at these ranges. I expect some journalistic enthusiasm made it to the page.
