Via Daily Mail:

Shocking pictures have emerged on social media showing what could be the Islamic State’s youngest suicide bomber.

The boy has been named as Abu al-Hassan al-Shami, a Syrian fighter who appears to be no older than 14 years old.

In a photo series, entitled ‘Battle of Vengeance for the Mother of the Believers (Aisha)’, the youngster is thought to be one of two Syrian fighters, who carried out a suicide truck bombings in the Iraqi province of Salahuddin.

He is shown sitting in the driver’s seat of the large lorry filled with barrels of explosives.

The vehicle has been reinforced with plated armour, leaving the young driver with only a small rectangular window to navigate the final journey for his deadly vehicle.

Whilst his age has yet to be independently verified, it is possible that al-Shami could be the Islamic State’s youngest suicide bomber in Iraq.
