Hmmm already been posted I think.

And as I said before - highly likely it was a lucky shot.

Nothing against the squaddie of course.

The thing is, he did very well just to hit his target -- and then he was lucky enough to have his bullet detonate explosives the guy was wearing, which is what killed the other five.

"The 20-year-old marksman, a Lance Corporal in the Coldstream Guards, hit his target from 930 yards (850 metres) away, killing the suicide bomber and five others around him caught in the blast."
