Horrifying: Mother kills herself and young baby in a suicide bombing attack in Mosul




In a truly horrifying story a mother has killed herself and her young baby in a suicide bombing in Mosul.

The tragic story comes after Iraqi media outlets released the picture (below) showing the woman believed to be supporter of the Islamic radical terrorist group ISIS walking with her young child along with a bomb in her handbag.

According to local media the woman and the young child were killed just moments after the image which was captured on a nearby CCTV camera.

It is believed the woman was ordered to carry out the bombing in order to eliminate a group of Iraqi soldiers who were occupying a specific region of the war torn city, however her efforts were unsuccessful as the bomb she was carrying did not detonate until a few moments later after she walked past the group.
