World’s Deadliest Sniper

Amid the war crisis in Ukraine, an elite Canadian sniper is among the foreign nationals joining the Ukrainian military in its fight against Russia.

The 40-year-old Wali is from Canada’s Royal 22nd Regiment, a veteran of two deployments in Afghanistan.

Wali is a Muslim name that means saint but it is not immediately known whether the name was chosen because he is a Muslim or he adopted the name after fighting alongside Muslim Kurdish fighters against IS terrorists.

His deployment in Afghanistan, a Muslim country, could also be the reason he picked a Muslim name.

Wali crossed the border into Ukraine through Poland few days ago and said he and other volunteers were welcomed with open arms.
