Grenfell Tower in north Kensington was turned into a raging inferno this morning.

At least 12 victims have been confirmed after the deadly fire spread between the second and 24th floors.

And while a further 20 people remain in a critical condition, sick wannabe jihadis have taken to social media to mock and taunt victims.

Chillingly, the taunts come months after the death cult recently called for "lone-wolf" attackers to wage "arson jihad" against the west in their magazine Rumiyah.

And the pictures of tower blocks on fire bring eerie reminders of previous propaganda showing landmarks like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.

After today's fire, one user wrote: “Hell and good riddance.”

Another said: “ISIS statement #GrenfellTower adopts the fire" accompanied with a series of laughing emojis.

“I wish for more casualties – they encroach Kfar,” another added.

And a man describing himself as a “soldier” wrote on Facebook: “They bombed Iraq, Afghanistan so now this is their time.

“Do not forget. Everyone eats what he farmed.”

Earlier this morning, terrified residents scrambled to escape the blaze – and one desperate parent even resorted to throwing her baby out of the window.

The cause of the fire is not known at this stage, London Fire Brigade said.

London Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton said there had been a "number of fatalities" but could not confirm how many due to the size and complexity of the building.

"This is an unprecedented incident," she said.

“In my 29 years of being a firefighter, I have never ever seen anything of this scale."
