A video has surfaced of a teenage suicide bomber moments before carrying out an attack for the Uzbek-led Imam Bukhara Jamaat militant group. In the video Jafar al-Tayyar is seen crying as he is encouraged by fellow jihadis. The footage was reportedly taken to highlight Jafar as a martyr. Tayyar’s suicide mission was part of an attack that included more than 200 rockets and seven separate suicide bombs against the defense of Fua. Margaret J. Howell and Jose Marcelino Ortiz discuss the footage and attacks on The Lip News.
