Graphic Photos: Jihadi Father Who Used His 7-year-old Daughter For Suicide Mission Dies

A jihadi father who used his seven-year-old daughter as a suicide bomber in Syria has now met his own death. Abu Nimr al-Suri was shown on a video kissing his daughter goodbye before sending her into a Syrian police station, where she was blown up by a remote detonator.

Russia Today's Middle East correspondent Lizzie Phelan has tweeted a photograph of Abu Nimr in his traditional death shroud. 

She said he had also been involved in the murder of Syrian TV actor Mohamad Rafea, 30, who was kidnapped and killed in 2012.

Many Islamist extremist fighters believe the Koran promises 'martyrs' 72 virgins in heaven if they die during a jihad, or holy war. Islamic scholars say this is a misreading of one of the shuras in the Koran.

Earlier this month a appalling video emerged showing the ranting extremist holding the girls in his arms as he brainwashes them. 

Footage showed him lecturing her and her nine-year-old daughter about how to carry out suicide bomb attacks before they are embraced by a woman in a burka, believed to be their mother.

A short time later the seven-year-old walked into a police station in Syria's capital, Damascus, before being killed in an explosion.
