Depraved
jihadis fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq have started using
chickens as mobile improvised explosive devices, it has been claimed.
Members
of the terror group operating in and around the city of Fallujah are
said to be strapping explosive belts to chickens, which are then
encouraged to wander into enemy camps.
Once
the chickens are successfully within striking distance without having
aroused suspicion, the ISIS extremists apparently use remote controls to
set off the devices, killing all those close by.

chickens: ISIS jihadis operating in and around the city of Fallujah are

Images
of so-called 'suicide chickens' have been widely shared online by both
pro and anti ISIS users, although their authenticity could not be
verified.
Details of why the terror group are apparently using exploding birds were told to the Daily Star.
The
crude devices show how ISIS is running low on ammunition following
several years of all out war in Syria and Iraq, the newspaper quoted
unnamed experts as saying.
'ISIS
will use whatever means they can to bring death and destruction. Using
animals has little military value - it is just another example of how
their twisted minds enjoy dreaming up bizarre ways to kill people,' a
unnamed British man fighting alongside Kurdish troops in the region
added.
The
bizarre claims that ISIS are using suicide chickens comes just days
after reports of the terror group strapping IEDS to a goat that was sent
into a Kurdish base in the Syrian city of Kobane.

GAZA ROCKED BY ISIS CAR BOMBS ON HAMAS AND ISLAMIC JIHAD AS EXTREMIST GROUPS CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE FOR POWER
ISIS
are thought to have been behind five co-ordinated car-bomb attacks in
Gaza yesterday, targeting members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
The
devastating blasts rocked a quiet area in the north of Gaza city,
destroying five cars thought to belong to members of the Ezzedine
al-Qassam and Al-Quds brigades.
The attacks come amid growing tensions between the Palestinian territory's rulers and extremist opponents.
Several people reportedly suffered minor injuries in the attacks.
Yesterday's attacks are believed to be the work of hardline ISIS supporters, looking to destabilise Hamas' control of the strip.
Some
accounts claim that several crudely drawn ISIS style flags of tawheed
were painted on a nearby wall shortly before the attack.
It is unclear if ISIS will claim responsibility for the attack.
Witnesses
said that the five blasts went off in the space of 15 mins, at around
6:30am. It is thought the devices had been placed underneath the cars
parked in front of their owners' homes.
Photographs
of the animal IEDs emerged as the U.S.-led coalition battling ISIS
dropped new leaflets over the terror group's de facto capital Raqqa,
vowing to bring 'freedom' to those living there.
A
Raqqa-based anti-Islamic State group and the Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said the leaflets had drawings showing dead
extremists and their flag turned upside down.
Four
fighters with the main Kurdish militia, the People's Protection Units,
or YPG, walked down a street in the picture, with words in Arab below:
'Freedom will come.'
The
network called Raqqa is Being Silently Slaughtered posted a copy of the
leaflets on its Twitter account. There was no immediate response from
ISIS.
Coalition
warplanes have dropped such leaflets in the past. One previous had a
cartoon showing masked ISIS extremists at a 'hiring office' feeding
people into a meat grinder.
ISIS holds about a third of Syria and neighboring Iraq in its self-declared 'caliphate.'
The latest leaflet drop comes as YPG fighters have been advancing in northern Syria as close as 30 miles north of Raqqa.
On Friday, a truck bombing by the group in Iraq's eastern Diyala province killed 115 people at a crowded market.
It
is understood that the local police chief and three officers have been
fired in the wake of the bombing. Two other officers are believed to be
under investigation.
