Chilling moment twisted ISIS fighter hugs fellow jihadi before blowing himself up with truck bomb in Iraq
Drone caught the moment Abu Anwar al-Baljiki's truck exploded into a devastating fireball
A BELGIAN jihadi embraces his extremist friend just minutes before he blew himself up in a massive suicide truck bomb.
ISIS have released a series of photographs capturing the moments before Abu Anwar al-Baljiki set off on his murderous mission in Iraq.
Clad in white robes, he is snapped embracing an unnamed fellow jihadist before an attack in Qayyarah, Iraq.
A bearded man in black walks to a second vehicle as the two hug.
He is later seen sitting at the wheel of what appears to be a Humvee vehicle - a heavily-armoured car often used by US forces in Iraq.
Bizarrely, a SatNav device is seen plugged in beside him.
