A member of the elite British SAS reportedly killed an ISIS militant with an axe after his gun jammed.

British press reports say the joint U.S.-U.K. operation’s mission was to free the death cult’s sex slaves. The mission was a success and some of the would-be jihadi brides were little more than children, The U.K. Sun reports.

But one of the Brit commando’s gun jammed on him as one extremist raced towards him. The brave Brit grabbed a nearby axe and slammed it against the fanatic’s head, killing him.

“Members of ISIS had been in the area for a few months and had been rounding up pre-pubescent girls who they wanted to become jihadi brides,” a sourcetold the Daily Star.

“If the parents protested they were shot dead or beheaded. Some of the girls ran away but were captured and we received reports that they were crucified or dipped in acid and suffered the most appalling deaths.

“A rescue mission was launched. Up to 30 fighters were killed. Some escaped. There were no prisoners.

“The girls and their families were relocated from the village to northern Iraq where they have been welcomed and offered homes.”

Meanwhile, ISIS killer-in-chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has reportedly fled embattled Mosul, where coalition forces are winning back the fanatics’ spiritual home.

The U.K. Times reports al-Baghdadi fled the city after allied airstrikes began pulverizing the enemy.

“Baghdadi escaped at the last moment from the airstrike on a meeting among commanders in Mosul,” a local security operator told Russian newspaper, Sputnik.
