In a now viral footage, the frightened fighter, named as an Jafar al-Tayyar, from Uzbekistan, is seen being comforted by his fellow militants moments before he launches his deadly attack on Shi'ite town of Fua in Idlib Province.

A fellow militant says:

"Jafar, my brother, don't be afraid. When you are scared, remember Allah,"

"I'm just scared I won't succeed,” al-Tayyar tells his fellow militants.

Despite his apparent fear of dying, 21 year old Jafar al-Tayyar is told to drive an armoured vehicle packed with explosives.

Moments later Tayyar drives off into the distance and blows the vehicle up, sending a huge mushroom cloud into the air as his fellow jihadis in the Uzbek-led Imam.

It is not known how many people were killed and injured in the blast.
