Published by "New York Daily News"

The young jihadist, who has been named as Jafar-al-Tayyar, was fighting with al-Qaeda rebels, the al-Nursa Front, in northern Syria. He was part of an attack on the town of Fua, according to Radio Liberty.

In the footage the young man seems distressed as he is being comforted and hugged by militants around him. While sitting inside an armoured vehicle loaded with explosives, he is reportedly told, “Jafar, my brother, don’t be afraid. When you are scared, remember Allah.”

He replies: “I’m just scared I won’t succeed.”

Moments later he drives off into the distance and blows the vehicle up with a huge cloud of smoke swelling into the air. Footage of the suicide mission was purportedly filmed to glorify him as a martyr, but to many eyes he just looks scared.

Minupilation and unessasary death. If only their was a way to positively educate them away from this.

Sadly Jafar found that there was an error in translation regarding post ascension goodies. Rather than 72 "Virgins", he found 72 "VirginIANS". Bad...all male. Good...no teeth. *cue Price is right loser theme*

I'd have a lot more respect for terrorist leaders if they volunteered to blow themselves up, rather than volunteering other people to do it.

Seems like ther is a lot of smoke and mirrors about these jihadists. Do they know or don't they care about the Virgins? What about their mommies hoping their son is the one in a face mask pulling the pin?
