Syrian militant who sent daughter on suicide mission in Damascus, killed

Abu Nimr was killed in Damascus just weeks after he filmed his daughters talking about how they would carry out a suicide attack

Nimr came to fame after a video was released online showing the militant sitting next to his two daughters encouraging them to carry out suicide attacks.

In a video that went viral and horrified millions around the world, Nimr asked his nine and 10-year-old daughters: "You want to surrender so that you're raped and killed by the infidels?"

"You want to kill them, no? We're a glorious religion, not a religion of humiliation, isn't that so darling?"

The video was verified by sources close to Al-Arabiya news and released to coincide with a suicide bombing that took place outside a police station in a Damascus suburb on 16 December.
