A DUDLEY car mechanic who joined the Islamic State has posted chilling images of his bomb-making factory in Syria online.

Hamayun Tariq, who was born and bred in the town, claims to be an explosives expert and sniper and has shared four images on Twitter of a room where he says he makes devices known as IEDs.

The photographs show components organised on shelves, instruction manuals and bomb-making equipment laid out on work.

The father-of-two’s social media presence rarely last longer than a few days before being suspended as he posts detailed instructions on how to build bombs.

His latest account has already been taken down but the divorced 37-year-old boastfully claimed he was spending his time “producing sophisticated IEDs” and wrote: “IEDs is my favourite weapon after Sniping, u hit the enemy & disappear in thin air just like a Ghost. Its a Must.”

Reports say that Tariq served a sentence for fraud in Wolverhampton before joining ISIS in Syria late last year and shortly after, began posting detailed explosive-making instructions and encouraging 'lone wolves' still living in the West to carry out bomb attacks.

He has previously posted photographs of handwritten instructions explaining how to assemble explosive devices and listing the chemicals needed to create deadly poisons – which is thought to be in retaliation for him allegedly having his British passport revoked in 2013.

One of his most widely shared messages was a sarcastic note of 'thanks' to Home Secretary Theresa May for 'revoking my British citizenship'.
