In a stunning video, a young suicide bomber is seen being comforted by his fellow militant extremists surrounding him, breaking down in tears during a rare glimpse into the moments before he completes his assigned mission, according to the New York Post.
The video shows that after a few moments of coaching, Jafar al-Tayyar, a jihadist assigned to give up his life for a suicide bombing mission, shuts the hatch of the armored vehicle, armed with over 200 rockets, and heads to complete his assigned mission, according to Demanjo.
The narrator is heard claiming the sobbing terrorist is the "first volunteer mujahid (jihad fighter) of Mawarannahr," what some rebels refer to as Central Asia.
Al-Tayyar, is part of a network of rebels fighting for the Uzbek-led Imam Bukhari Jamaat alongside the al Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front, in northern Syria. When he climbs into the explosive packed armored vehicle, he has a moment of hesitation, and breaks down crying.
"Jafar, my brother, don't be afraid. When you are scared, remember Allah," one of the comforting militant tells him, according to The Daily Mirror.
Older, bearded jihadis are seen encouraging the teenager and patting him on the back, while others hug the suicide bomber, smiling at him.
The bomber responded, "I'm just scared I won't succeed," according to The Daily Mirror.
As seen in the footage, it is apparent that al-Tayyar did, indeed, succeed in his mission, according to the Inquisitr.
Many terror groups, including al-Qaeda and ISIS, frequently recruit, train and then use foreign-born fighters in suicide bomb attacks.
