The harrowing moment a mother kisses her two young daughters goodbye before sending them off on a suicide mission has been captured on camera.

One of the two girls, believed to be aged seven and nine, died after detonating a suicide bomb at a police station shortly after.

The young children are pictured with a bearded male fanatic in one clip, while separate footage shows the cameraman lecturing the two young girls and instructing them how to carry out an attack.

A burka-clad woman, understood to be their mother, clutches the children and affectionately kisses their heads and hands as they stand in a sparse room decorated only by a black and white flag.

The footage shows the male fanatic brainwashing the girls, who are both dressed in woolly hats and scarves.

A short time later, the seven-year-old girl is thought to have walked into a police station in Syria's capital, Damascus, calmly asking to use the toilet.

She was killed an explosion, believed to be a remotely detonated suicide bomb, which which tore through the building only moments after.

The videos are believed to be filmed consecutively, and shortly before the girl died, however the clips are impossible to verify.

It is also not confirmed if the girl who died in the police station bombing is the same one featured in the footage.

The explosion in the busy Midan neighbourhood of the Syrian capital wounded three police officers, reports the Al-Watan daily.

It is not yet clear who ordered the attack, but there are local reports that her father was a member of Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, formerly known as al-Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front.

Disturbing images show the damage done to the Damascus police station before and after the bomb blast.

The inside of the building is strewn with broken boxes and furniture, while debris litters the usually bustling neighbourhood after the attack.
