Alalam - Iraq
ISIS are setting up “wooden tanks” and “bearded dummies” across the towns of Annah and Rawa, Iraqi Al-Sumaria news quoted from Major Nouman Abdul Zawbai, the 7th division commander in Anbar.
“Doing that, the group wants to make locals believe it still possesses equipment and fighters, but their trick was exposed by reconnaissance aircrafts flying above the two towns,” the commander confirmed.
The hope is that the Iraqi jets and US-led coalition forces would waste hundreds of thousands of dollars to destroy cheap timber.
