The Islamic State is reportedly using remote-controlled vehicles imported from Turkey similar to those pictured in versions of the "Call of Duty" video game to launch bomb attacks on its opponents in Iraq and Syria.
Mirror reported that Kurdish soldiers combating Islamic State (IS) militants in the Middle East have encountered the miniature vehicles, one of which did not successfully detonate. A photograph of one of the alleged vehicles has been circulated on social media.
IS is allegedly strapping explosives onto the toys—multiple of which have injured and killed individuals combatting the terrorist group—and using their remote controls to drive them to the frontline of conflict.
The terrorist group is also reportedly using drones in Iraq to gather battlefield intelligence and locate enemy targets.
In versions of "Call of Duty," players can employ similar remote-controlled vehicles to kill their targets in the game.
Reports of the Islamic State’s use of remote-controlled toy cars comes one day after video surfaced of the child of an alleged IS fighter beheading a stuffed animal in training.
