Grinning ‘ISIS fanatic who tied hand grenades to baby he dressed as a suicide bomber’ is arrested in Tunisia
The unidentified man has been arrested in Tunisia - but claims the photo was taken in 2012 using fake grenades
A SUSPECTED ISIS fanatic has been arrested after he dressed a baby as a suicide bomber and posed next to the sleeping child for a photograph.
The picture sparked outrage on social media and led to the man's arrest in Tunisia - where an ISIS gunman killed 38 people on a beach in 2015.
It shows him grinning as he lies next to the sleeping child - who is wrapped tightly bound in a blanket with five grenades wrapped around its body.
The man, who has not been named, has now claimed the image was taken in 2012 and the grenades were fake, it was reported.
News of the man's arrest comes just days after the mastermind of the Sousse beach massacre was unmasked.
Chamseddine al-Sandi was named as the brains behind the bloodbath in which 30 Britons were shot dead, but is still at large.
The baby-faced Islamist kingpin planned and ordered the June 2015 horror and briefed gunman Seifeddine Rezgui.
Rezgui, 23, was shot dead but al-Sandi is still believed to be on the run in neighbouring Libya.
He was named in confessions of suspects revealed by BBC Panorama investigators earlier this week.
Authorities have issued warrants for his arrest over the Sousse attack which killed 38 holidaymakers and another at the Bardo Museum in Tunis in which 22 died.
