Unexpected Jihad -“And then he like, literally photo bombed his friends.” – Paris Hilton

One of the men to the left holds a cellphone in the air to take a selfie.

As the camera clicks, however, it seems the phone is apparently rigged to an improvised explosive device in the room causing an explosion.

The camera falls to the floor following the blast, with flames and smoke filling the room as some men are seen jumping over the equipment in an attempt to escape. A number are heard shouting “Allahu Akbar” as they flee.
