Dewsbury teenager is 'UK's youngest ever suicide bomber'

A West Yorkshire teenager is believed to have become Britain's youngest ever suicide bomber after reportedly blowing himself up in Iraq.

Talha Asmal, 17, was one of four suicide bombers who attacked security forces near an oil refinery south of Baiji.

Isis social media reports said Asmal, going by the name of Abu Yusuf al-Britani, had taken part in the attack.

The BBC's world affairs correspondent Orla Guerin reports from Baghdad.
