Photos posted by Brisbane man Ashley Dyball, aka Mitchell Scott, who joined the Kurdish People's Protection Group (YPG) in May has illustrated the shocking threat posed to locals in Syria's north-east by Islamic State's crude explosive devices.

One image reveals an armour-plated 'suicide truck' carrying 10 tonnes of explosives which was destined to cause carnage in nearby villages but was uncovered recently by the YPG in the town of al-Hawl and successfully disarmed.

The Kurdish battalion was part of a coalition of Syrian Democratic Forces which wrested back control of al-Hawl from Islamic State last week and uncovered bunkers where IS would hide from allied force bombing raids.

WNU Editor: These are huge bombs .... I can see how using a few of them in a coordinated attack can devastate someone's defences.
