Suicide bomber bursts into tears and is comforted by jihadis before fatal attack in Syria |
2015-09-23 |
![]() The frightened fighter, named as an Jafar al-Tayyar, from Uzbekistan, is seen being comforted by his fellow Death Eaters moments before he launches his deadly attack on Shi'ite town of Fua in Idlib Province - an Assad regime stronghold. After he climbs into the explosives-packed armoured personnel carrier, the young man starts sobbing. An fellow Death Eater says: "Jafar, my brother, don't be afraid. When you are scared, remember Allah," the Death Eater says. "I'm just scared I won't succeed," al-Tayyar tells his fellow Death Eaters. But the footage shows he does succeed - and an earth-shattering kaboom rocks the camera at the end of the video. The video's narrator says he is the "first volunteer mujahid (jihad fighter) of Mawarannahr," a term used by some jihadists to refer to an area of Central Asia corresponding approximately with modern-day Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, southern Kyrgyzstan and southwest Kazakhstan. He was a fighter for the Imam Bukhari Jamaat, an Uzbek-led faction fighting alongside the Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front, reports Radio Liberty. Terror groups, including ISIS, frequently use foreign-born fighters in suicide kabooms. |

#3 Well, his fears are normal for a trained combatant, not death, but fucking up. It is what it is. |
