ISIS Suicide Bomber Blows Himself Up In Mistaken Attack

Footage showing a botched suicide bombing attempt by an ISIS solider has appeared online.

The ISIS solider detonated his bomb, but wasn't close enough to the Syrian rebels to take anybody else out with him.

The incident is believed to have happened in Raqqa as the two groups continue to battle it out for key cities.

In the video, which was shared by news agency Qasioun, the man can be seen approaching a group of soldiers who are stood outside a building and seemingly detonating the bomb.

The smoke then clears and you can see that no one else has been injured in the blast.

This latest attack happened as soldiers continued with the ongoing Wraths of Euphrates operation, which has seen a number of violent clashes. It was launched by the Syrian Democratic Forces in opposition to ISIS and has been blocking key roads in Raqqa, with the aim of eventually cutting off resources completely.

Speaking about the Wraths of Euphrates operation, UK Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon told Reuters: "I hope that isolation will be completed by the spring and then operations to liberate Raqqa itself can begin thereafter.

"Raqqa is a much smaller city than Mosul but will clearly be defended very vigorously by Daesh [ISIS] and that means the operation to liberate Raqqa has to be very carefully prepared, as the operation for Mosul was.

"Once Raqqa is liberated after Mosul, we will see the beginning of the end of this terrible caliphate."
