Islamic State Fighter's Bodycam Shows The Moment That He Is Shot By A Sniper During A Firefight

First-person perspective: Footage filmed on an Islamic State gunmen's body camera shows the militant engaging in a fierce firefight with the Iraqi military apparently on the outskirts of the Iraqi city of Ramadi

Daily Mail: The death of an ISIS fighter... seen through his own eyes: Militant gunman's body camera records the moment he is shot by a sniper after moving out of cover

* Dramatic footage shows jihadis engaged in fierce firefight with Iraqi troops
* Fires his AK-47 machine gun while running between abandoned buildings
* But militant is shot dead after stepping out from behind wall of sandbags
* Footage thought to have been shot in Ramadi which fell to ISIS last month

This is the shocking moment an Islamic State fighter inadvertently captures his own death while recording a firefight on his body camera.

The dramatic footage shows the jihadi firing an AK-47 machine gun while frantically running between abandoned buildings in a battle with the Iraqi military.

At one point, he or a fellow insurgent can be heard screaming 'Allah Akbar!' – God is greatest.

But he commits a fatal error by stepping out from behind a wall of sandbags and is promptly shot dead by a sniper.

WNU Editor: Cannot tell much from the video. It is just a number of screen shots .... not a steady video flow. But what I find interesting about this video is that it appears that it is the Islamic State itself that posted it .... glorifying the death of one of their fighters. If this is their way to recruit new followers .... I am skeptical that it is going to work.
