Shafaq News– Nineveh A young man from the Hammam al-Alil district, south of Mosul in Nineveh province, appeared in a live broadcast on social media in which he deliberately set himself on fire. The live stream showed the man pouring a highly flammable substance over his body before igniting it on camera. The broadcast continued for several minutes after the incident, during which the man moved out of the frame while the live feed remained active.
