A British Daesh fighter who once tried to glamourise his life as a jihadi by posing with a jar of Nutella, has blown himself up in a deadly suicide attack in Iraq.
Known only as Abu Hurairah al-Britani, a Daesh propaganda photo shows the straggly-bearded militant smiling just moments before his fatal mission.
The British fighter was reportedly used as a 'shock trooper' in a Daesh attack on Iraqi army troops and Shia militia forces at the village of al-Sheikh Ali near the town of Baiji.
MailOnline understands the jihadi is the same British national who mocked an American news network by bizarrely posing with a jar of Nutella.
The British man posted a photograph of himself holding a jar of the popular hazel and chocolate spread in a bid to taunt the West about the 'five star' lifestyle of militants in Syria.
Abu Hurairah, whose real identity is unknown, is understood to be the fourth British national to die carrying out a suicide bomb mission near the strategically important oilfields of Baiji, northern Iraq.
Kabir Ahmed, a convicted criminal from Derby, is believed to have been the first British fighter to blow himself up at Baiji.
The 32-year-old reportedly killed eight Iraqi police officers and injured 15 other men near the town of Baiji.
The father-of-three was one of three men to be jailed in 2012 for handing out hateful leaflets which demanded that gay men were hanged in Derby.
A second British man, known only as Abu Hajar al-Britani, blew himself up in a suicide mission in November 2014.
The most recent British suicide bomber at Baiji was teenager Talha Asmal, originally from West Yorkshire.
Asmal was part of a quartet of suicide bombers who killed 11 people in June 2015.
The 17-year-old from Dewsbury, who adopted the name Abu Yusuf al-Britani, is believed to be Britain's youngest ever suicide bomber.
Daesh propaganda photographs from the two pronged attack revealed that three suicide bombers targeted the local headquarters of an Iraqi Shia militia group in al-Hijjaj - close to the oil refinery.
The second attack, which also included fighters from Russia and Kazakhstan, targeted Iraqi forces near the Baiji refinery.
