Islamic State suicide bomber in Yemen found alive after botched attack rips him in half

A gruesome new video has emerge showing the torn body of a failed Islamic State (Isis) suicide bomber after his explosives detonated early. The bomber is found alive and even speaking a bit despite missing the bottom half of his body.

According to the Daily Mail, footage after the incident shows the suspected IS bomber speaking a few words and moving his head following his dismemberment. The failed attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen allegedly occurred after the man's bomb belt detonated too early.

The video was taken by a bystander in the city of Aden and later posted online. In it, a group of onlookers slowly approach the bomber who was ripped in two. The short clip does not feature the man's lower half, but does show him moving his head and muttering one or two indistinguishable words, the Daily Mail reported. As he attempts to speak, an onlooker says, "He is still alive. He [does] not have [a] chance. He cannot survive." Subtitles on the video reveal he was an IS bomber who was driving a motorcycle at the time of the incident.
