Harrowing video footage has emerged showing the final moments of a reluctant teenage suicide bomber who burst into tears when ordered to blow himself up during an attack on a Syrian village.

Despite his apparent fear of dying, Uzbek national Jafar al-Tayyar is told to drive an armoured vehicle packed with explosives into the besieged villages of Fua and Kafriyeh.



Moments later Tayyar drives off into the distance and blows the vehicle up, sending a huge mushroom cloud into the air as his fellow jihadis in the Uzbek-led Imam Bukhari Jamaat militant group - which fights alongside Al Qaeda in Syria - storm the villages' defences.

Footage of Tayyar's suicide mission was purportedly filmed to glorify him as a martyr after he blew himself up.

But far from embracing his impending death, the teenager appears terrified - openly crying as he sits in the armoured vehicle.



Off camera another militant can be heard trying to reassure him by saying: 'Jafar, my brother, don't be afraid. When you are scared, remember Allah.'

Looking at the scenery around him, the militant appears to realise he is just moments from death and bursts into tears, sobbing as his fellow militants do their best to reassure him and insist he carry out the attack.

SYRIA REGIME INTENSIFIES RAIDS ON ISIS-HELD CITY OF PALMYRA


The Syrian regime has intensified its air strikes on the ISIS-held ancient city of Palmyra, killing more than 100 people including civilians in recent days, a monitoring group said today.

The fierce raids follow the delivery by Russia of new arms including warplanes to its ally Syria.

Raids by warplanes and helicopters using barrel bombs and missiles left at least 12 civilians and 20 jihadists dead yesterday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Dozens more were wounded in the strikes against targets including a militant headquarters in the city, which ISIS seized along with its UNESCO-listed world heritage site in May.

Since Friday at least 33 civilians and 70 jihadists have been killed in an escalating assault by President Bashar al-Assad's aircraft.

A ceasefire has since been declared in the area.

The video comes as a group of U.S.-trained rebels that recently returned to Syria said they are investigating reports that one of its members has defected and handed over his weapons Nusra,



The reports first circulated on social media after the group of about 70 rebels returned to Syria last week. They were armed and trained by the U.S. in Turkey.

This morning, the group known as Division 30 posted a statement on its Facebook page saying if allegations are true, it will refer the officer in question to a military tribal on charges of treason, but that it has so far been unable to contact him.

The U.S. Central Command confirmed on Monday the graduates had re-entered Syria with their weapons and were operating alongside anti-Islamic State forces.
