A video shows the shocking moment when a teenage ISIS suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowded stadium after a local football game ended, killing at least 65 people.

‘They were just handing the trophy to the winners, the suicide attacker blew himself up in the crowd,’ a police captain from the village, Al-Asriya, told AFP.

The police captain said that over 50 people were also wounded in the explosion that took place in a village south of Baghdad.

ISIS have claimed responsibility for the attack, releasing a photo of the teenage bomber, named as Saifullah al-Ansari.
