Inghimasi

Inghimasi often wear explosive belts (example pictured) alongside regular weapons in order to inflict as much damage as possible on their enemies.

Inghimasi (Arabic: اِنْغِمَاسِيّ, romanizedInġimāsīy, "become immersed"), also called shahid (Arabic: شَهِيد, "martyr") and istishhadi (Arabic: اِسْتِشْهَادِيّ, "martyrdom seeker"),[1] are forlorn hope or suicide attack shock troops utilized by several Sunni jihadist groups, such as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), al-Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra, Tahrir al-Sham, Boko Haram, and al-Shabaab.
