A children's DVD bought in Bradford which appears to glorify suicide bombing is being investigated by police.

The disc, filled with haunting images and dramatic music, features a young girl proclaiming that she will follow in the footsteps of her suicide bomber mother.

The DVD is set to music sung by children in Arabic with English subtitles.

West Yorkshire was home to three of the suicide bombers responsible for the July 7 London bombings - Bradford-born Shehzad Tanweer, of Beeston, Leeds, Mohammad Sidique Khan, of Dewsbury, and Hasib Mir Hussain, also of Beeston.

The first video shows an Arab woman playing with her two children before leaving her home with dynamite tucked into her dress.

She is approached by uniformed soldiers and the camera pauses on her thoughtful expression before a large explosion blazes across the screen.

After finding out about the suicide on television, her small daughter finds a stick of dynamite in her mother's wardrobe and turns to the camera with the subtitles: "My love will not be by words. I will follow my mother's steps."

The head of the Leeds-based Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU), Detective Chief Superintendent John Parkinson, said: "We can confirm a DVD has been passed to the CTU for further investigation.

"The DVD has been initially reviewed and officers are carrying out further inquiries regarding its content to establish whether or not any offences have been committed."

Police said they were unable to say where in Bradford the DVDs were being sold.
