A Jordanian parliament member says his son carried out a suicide bombing in Iraq just three months after the family failed to prevent him from joining the Daesh extremist group.
Jordan is part of an international military coalition against Daesh.
Parliamentarian Mazen Dalaeen told The Associated Press he last saw his 23-year-old son Mohammed in June in Ukraine, where he was studying medicine.
Dalaeen says his son left for Iraq via Turkey and Syria the next day, after they argued about Daesh.
He said on Saturday he learned of Mohammed's death late last week from Daesh-linked websites that posted a photo of his son and said he participated in a triple suicide car bomb attack on an Iraqi army post.
