Syrian rebel accidentally blows himself and his comrades up by taking a selfie with a phone rigged to an explosive

This video appears to show the moment a Syrian rebel blows himself and his fellow freedom fighters up by taking a selfie with a phone connected to a bomb.

The footage, which has not been verified, shows members of the Free Syrian Army gathering around a camera.

The eight men are seen sitting in front of a rebel flag as they sing into a microphone, with two rifles propped up in front of them.

The 30-second clip shows one of the men picking up a phone and holding it  up to take a picture of him and the other rebels.
