When ISIS constructed an obstacle course and an MMA ‘Cage of Death’ to train young boys to be the next generation of killers, I wrote it off as ISIS being ISIS. When they banned pigeon breeding because pigeon dicks are offensive to God, I honestly didn’t think it could get weirder.

ISIS militants in and around the Iraqi city of Fallujah have now started attaching improvised explosive devices to chickens. Yep, chickens. The chickens are then encouraged to wander into enemy camps and when within striking distance, a remote control is used to detonate the device, killing those nearby and obviously the poor chicken. The killer chickens have reportedly been the response to ISIS’s dwindling ammunition supply after many years of incessant war in Syria and Iraq, according to the Daily Star.
Terror expert Nasser Kataw urges forces to be mindful of ISIS’ s bizarre new tactics:
“The regime has countless small arms like semi-automatic weapons and pistols and lots of field weapons like mortars but the ammunition is running low and cannot easily be replaced.
The regime is now desperately trying to fashion its own weapons but lacks the machine shops to make such precision items.”
An unnamed British man fighting for Kurdish troops spoke to the Mail Online:
“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.”
The suicide chickens were reported just days after reports of ISIS using an explosive goat to attack a Kurdish base in Syria.
Poor ISIS, running out of ammunition. Meanwhile, in the greatest country in the world:
