ISIS Features: Elderly Man Carries Out a Suicide Bombing in Iraq

Al-Mar'awi climbs into an armored truck, holding a two-way radio in his hands


Voices in the background: What perseverance!


Abu Omar Al-Mar'awi: Right!

Abu Omar Al-Mar'awi: Allah willing.

"Keeping the apostates busy until the martyrdom-seeker reaches his target."

The truck drives away, as ISIS fighters are seen shooting at the enemy

ISIS fighters: Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar!


A large explosion is seen on a hilltop across a valley


"Allah facilitated his way to the target, and dozens were annihilated thanks to him."
