A few days ago, a picture resurfaced on social media where an old man can be seen with an army soldier.
The captions of the pictures read, “कब्र में जाने की उम्र में ये आतंकी 72 हूर पाने की तमन्ना लिए भीड़ में बम-ब्लास्ट करने के लिए जा ही रहा था कि सेना ने इसे पकड़ लिया।”
(Google translation – At the age of going to the grave, the militant was going to bomb blast in the crowd for the desire to get 72 Hur, that the army caught it.)
The post was also shared with another caption, that read ” When the iraq Army captured ISIS old man they asked him: Why did you want to bomb urself and kill the innocent people? He said l want to have dinner with the prophet in Heaven.
