Hoist with their own petard.
ISIS military commander Abu Abdullah al-Kanadi and jihadist official Abu Mohamed al-Telafari were killed as they prepared the explosives.
The explosion caused damage to nearby houses in central Hawija near Kirkuk in Northern Iraq.
‘An explosive belt exploded at a late hour yesterday in central Hawija killing an ISIS military commander, Abu Abdullah al-Kanadi and the Jihadist official Abu Mohamed al-Telafari while they were trying to prepare it,’ Iraqi news outlet Al Mada reported.
‘The belt explosion caused material damages to nearby houses.’
ISIS members have occupied the areas of Kirkuk Province, including Hawija, Abbasi, Riyad, Zab and al-Basheer, after capturing the city of Mosul, the center of Nineveh Province in June 2014.
Four days ago a major terrorist attack by ISIS was foiled by a faulty explosive device before it had even began.
Sixteen of their fighters, including senior figures, were reportedly killed when the malfunctioning suicide vest went off in one of their meetings.
