The blasts were allegedly filmed in the country's desert countryside. It's is not stated exactly where and when they took place.
Experts have warned although Isis is on the defensive in Iraq it now has thousands of foreign fighters heading back to Europe who will pose a major threat.
";The flow of foreign fighters from western countries has fallen from 2,000 to about nothing a month," Albert Ford of the New America think tank told AFP.

"But that's only half the issue: What do you do about the 25,000 or 30,000 people that are in Syria or have been there that now want to go back? It's an issue that's not going to go away."
Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Wednesday Isis is now wildly attacking civilians who refused to follow their orders in Mosul, .
"Fighters with the Islamic State (also known as Isis) have indiscriminately attacked civilian areas in eastern Mosul with mortar rounds and explosives, and deliberately shot at fleeing residents," the organisation said.

"Residents said Isis members told them in person, by radio, and over mosque loudspeakers that those who stayed behind were 'unbelievers' and therefore valid targets along with the Iraqi and coalition forces."
But Iraqi and US-led coalition battling to shift Isis from Mosul are also responsible for endangering civilians, HRW said.
Five witnesses described three separate strikes carried out by either Iraq or the coalition that targeted Isis fighters but also killed civilians, it's been claimed.
