A photograph purporting to show the crude bomb used to down a Russian airliner last month has been published in the latest edition of ISIS's propaganda magazine.
Published in the monthly magazine 'Dabiq', the image of a soft drink can and detonator is captioned: 'EXCLUSIVE - Image of the IED used to being down the Russian airliner'.
It comes just a day after Russia finally acknowledged the passenger jet was downed by a bomb over the Sinai desert, killing 224 people.
The latest edition of the jihadi magazine also revealed ISIS was planning to strike a jet belonging to a member of the US-led bombing coalition - before switching its focus to Russia at the last minute.

A second image published in the magazine purported to show passports of victims of the attack. Like the picture of the purported bomb, it too was captioned as an 'exclusive'
Russian technical experts said that the aircraft was destroyed by a homemade 1.5kg bomb
Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to wage war on the Islamic terrorists in the wake of jet's destruction
It is not clear if the bomb pictured is of the exact explosive used in the downing of the plane, nor has its authenticity been verified.
The magazine stated the bombing was in response to Russia's 'rash decision of arrogance' to begin airstrikes on rebels fighting Bashar al-Assad.
'After having discovered a way to compromise the security at the Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport and resolving to bring down a plane belonging to a nation in the American-led Western coalition against the Islamic State, the target was changed to a Russian plane.
'A bomb was smuggled onto the airplane leading to the deaths of 219 Russians and 5 other crusaders only a month after Russia’s thoughtless decision.
'This was to show the Russians and whoever allies with them that they will have no safety in the lands and airspace of the Muslims, that their daily killing of dozens in Sham through their airstrikes will only bring them calamities, and that just as they kill, they will be killed, by Allah’s permission.'
Magazine authors also alluded to the killings in Paris on Friday, stating the attacks 'shook the world and reminded the nations of kufr that the Islamic State will continue to stand firm in the face of their transgressions'.

It added ISIS would 'retaliate with fire and bloodshed in revenge for the honor of the Prophet and the multitudes killed and injured in crusader airstrikes in the lands of the Muslims'.
Like the statements on the bombing of the Russian jet, it was claimed to have been carried out in response to France's participation in air strikes in Syria and Iraq.
It claimed: '[France] also did not grasp that its mockery of the Messenger would not be left unavenged.
'Thus, the Islamic State dispatched its brave knights to wage war in the homelands of the wicked crusaders, leaving Paris and its residents "shocked and awed". The eight knights brought Paris down on its knees, after years of French conceit in the face of Islam.'
Meanwhile, today it emerged the bomb that downed the Russian jet had been placed in the aircraft's main cabin not in the cargo compartment as reported earlier, the daily Kommersant reported, citing an unnamed source.
The newspaper, citing a source close to the investigation of the crash, said the epicentre of the explosion appeared to have been at the rear of the cabin near the tail section.
'According to a preliminary version, the bomb could have been laid under the passenger seat by the window. Its operation has led to the destruction of the frame and depressurisation of the cabin, which had an explosive character.'
Yesterday Vladimir Putin finally acknowledged the jet was blown up by a home-made bomb containing 1.5kg of explosives, resulting in the loss of 224 lives.
All 224 people on board were killed in the crash. President Vladimir Putin vowed yesterday to hunt down those responsible and intensified air strikes against militants in Syria
The Airbus A321 disappeared 23 minutes after leaving Sharm el-Sheikh airport en-route to St Petersburg on October 31.
Alexander Bortnikov, head of the FSB security agency told Russian President Vladimir Putin: 'One can say unambiguously that it was a terror act.
The attacks on Paris and need to confront ISIS has brought a thawing in relations between President Putin, right, and western governments which imposed sanctions on Russia over the civil war in Ukraine
'An improvised bomb with a capacity of up to 1.5 kg of TNT exploded on the fight. As a result, the aircraft was torn apart in the air, which explains the large distance over which the pieces of the fuselage of the aircraft have scattered.'
President Putin has vowed to avenge the perpetrators: 'It's not the first time Russia faces barbaric terrorist crimes.'
His country would 'never forget' such attacks.
'Killing our people at Sinai is among the most bloody crimes judging by the number of victims. And we won't wipe our tears away from our hearts and souls. It will remain with us forever.

'But it won't stop us from finding and punishing the criminals.' He vowed: 'We must do it without time limitation.
'We must know each name. We will search for them everywhere, wherever they will hide. We will find them in any part of planet and punish them. There is no statute of limitation on this.'
He added: 'The combat work of our aviation in Syria must not only be continued. It must be intensified so that the criminals understand that vengeance is inevitable.'
As a result, Putin has ordered an increase in the intensity of airstrikes against ISIS targets in Syria. This came as France launched a second night of raids against terror locations in Raqqa in response to the Paris massacre. It was later reported that airstrikes had increased in Syria, with Russia using both sea-launched cruise missiles and long range bombers.
Mr Cameron has previously angered the Russian president by suggesting he has the ‘blood of Syrian children’ on his hands because of his support for Assad.
But Downing Street has signalled that the Prime Minister would now tone down the rhetoric.
‘This is about getting a hard-headed agreement on issues that matter to us,’ a source said. ‘The Prime Minister will approach this in a way that tries to make some progress with Putin.’
No 10 also confirmed that today’s talks are part of a wider Western push to persuade Mr Putin to soften his support for Assad and join the fight against ISIS.
