A Muslim fanatic sent out a despicable and violent taunt to serving British soldiers when he emailed a video of a U.S. gunner being shot and killed in Iraq.
The clip has even been posted on the internet and is accompanied with Arabic chanting as the soldier is slaughtered in Baghdad.
The American-based extremist made the 86-second video, complete with disturbing captions, which showed the soldier's painful death five times and once in slow motion.
As YouTube viewers and horrified servicemen watched the graphic film a caption at the bottom of the screen read: "Sniping of an American wild fat donkey."
The terrorist sympathiser, going by the name of "jihad4life4eva2", sent the message through the Forces Reunited soldier's network.
At least 14 serving British soldiers received fundamentalist's terrifying video message.
Soldiers have also reacted angrily after discovering that the jihad supporter had been allowed to have his own page on the internet site YouTube, which contained 15 other clips.
The website bosses reportedly refused to remove the fanatic's films, but after mounting pressure, it was finally taken off the site.
Lance-corporal Paul Baker was one of the soldiers who received the email.
"I was just chatting with my mates on Forces Reunited and I got this message," he told the News of the World.
"You clicked on the video and it started playing straight away.
"It was disgusting. You see the poor bloke get hit. There were 14 of us who got the video and we were all gutted. It was so wrong to send that to serving soldiers.
"We found this nutter was actually allowed a site on YouTube and we complained straight away.
"YouTube at first sent us back a pitiful email saying that if we were not in the video we had no right to complain.
"At least now they have seen sense, but that's only after three days and almost 1,000 people watching it."
L/cpl Baker, 24, based with 4 Rifles mechanised infantry at Bulford, Wiltshire, continued: "One message from the site said the bloke was a disgrace to the Muslim world so it was not just us getting upset about it."
The video was attributed to the "Al-furqan Establishment".
Another caption on the film read in English: "Mujahideen in Iraq Sniper shoot on US invader ... US imperialist pig wasted in Iraq of occupying Iraq illegally ... This is your fate if you try to invade."
