| [Iraq News] A video posted by Iraqi pro-government militias fighting the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... claims that the murderous Moslem group is tying stray dogs with improvised explosives to use them against advancing security forces in western Mosul. The video shows three members of al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Units) crouching near a small dog which Islamic State, according to the men featured in the clip, wired with three bottles filled with kabooms. "This is the latest from ISIS (Islamic State), abusing an animal," one fighter said, pointing to the dog. "What sin did it commit?," another one wondered. The authenticity of the video, published by PMU’s media, could not be verified. Iraqi government forces, backed by PMU and U.S.-led troops and advisers, began a major offensive on February 19th to clear western Mosul from Islamic State bad boys. The government declared late January its forces had recaptured the eastern section after three months of fighting. Islamic State has largely relied on booby-trapped vehicles, landmines, weaponized drones and human jacket wallahs in facing Iraqi troops, but it has also resorted to other extraordinary deceptive tactics such as using decoy military equipment and camouflage-dressed mannequins, and lately, booby-trapped animals. Some local observers believe the tactics signal desperation and the waning combat resources on Islamic State’s behalf. ِA few days after the western Mosul offensives launched, the Defense Ministry’s War Media Cell said IS fighters booby-trapped sheep to hinder assaults by PMU troops on Ein al-Tallawi village, which is near to the group’s stronghold town of Tal Afar. |

| #1 The Russians tried that in WWII. Didn't work out as the dogs tended to run back to the Russian side. |
