Inside a Brit’s ISIS bomb-making factory

IED labDaily Mail, By JOHN HALL and TOM WYKE, April 22, 2015:

A British former car mechanic who joined the Islamic State as an explosives expert and sniper has shared chilling images of his new high-tech bomb-making factory in Syria.

Hamayun Tariq, a divorced 37-year-old who was born and raised in Dudley in the West Midlands, shared four images on Twitter of a room where he claims to make devices known as IEDs.

Components are seen organised on shelves and instruction manuals and bomb-making equipment neatly laid out on work surfaces in the room, which the father-of-two says he hopes will emerge as ‘the best Electronics LAB in the Islamic state’

IED lab 2Tariq’s social media presence rarely last longer than a few days before being suspended as he specialises in posting detailed instructions on how to build bombs.

Despite already doing the same on his latest account, the militant has been able to share images of his bomb-making factory, where he boastfully claims to spend time ‘producing sophisticated IEDs’.

Hamayun TariqTariq – who uses the nom de guerre Abu Muslim al-Britani – has methodically arranged the room into areas for building bombs and areas to check their function.

He clearly uses expensive equipment, including high-tech microscopes, laptops and radiation testers while building the IEDs and detailed bomb-making manuals are dotted around the factory.

After posting photographs of his ‘laboratory’, the jihadi wrote on Twitter: ‘IEDs is my favourite weapon after Sniping, u hit the enemy & disappear in thin air just like a Ghost. Its a Must’.

Tariq served a sentence for fraud in the UK before joining ISIS in Syria late last year.

Shortly after joining the terrorist group he began posting detailed explosive-making instructions and encouraging ‘lone wolves’ still living in the West to carry out deadly bomb attacks.

Tariq has previously posted under various Twitter handles but he is usually suspended rarely quickly thanks to bomb-making guides and sickening calls for terror attacks in the UK.

He regularly posted photographs of handwritten instructions explaining how to assemble crude explosive devices and listing the chemicals needed to create deadly poisons.
