A US Navy SEAL who died in a battle against ISIS in Iraq had fought off 100 of the jihadis just weeks earlier and showed such bravery he was posthumously awarded a Silver Star, it has been revealed.
Charles Keating IV was shot dead on May 3 after he went to the aid of military advisers who had been ambushed by around 100 jihadi fighters in Irbil.
But details have emerged of a fierce fire fight the military hero took part in with a similar number of militants on March 4, highlighting the acute dangers US Special Forces face in the region, despite being there in a supposedly advisory role.
How SEAL killed in Iraq also fought 100 ISIS fighters weeks earlier
