Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) Muhammad Ali Karim is an Iraqi-Kurdish sniper and soldier in the Peshmerga forces fighting the extremist Islamic State in Iraq, and due to his extraordinary courage and daring, he is known as Captain Rambo.
Muhammad killed 260 militants and is considered a threat to the Islamic State group, so it placed a large reward on his head.
Rambo, who was born in 1977, has always been prepared to defend his homeland, and was trained by his father who was a Peshmerga sniper fighting the old regime.
He lived briefly in Norway but returned home in 2014 to join the fight against the Islamic State, after being sickened by atrocities carried out by the group and its ideology of hate and cruelty.
“As soon as Daesh invaded my country (in June 2014) I returned to Kurdistan to destroy this evil,” he says. “I want to kill them, get rid of them, because they are not human, they are evil,” he added.
Now, he serves as a lieutenant in Unit 70, one of three Kurdish brigades formed in 2015 with soldiers belonging to the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, in an attempt to unify rival Kurdish groups.
