The amount of terror operatives at the disposal of Islamic State in Iraq has fallen to such a level that cows are being rigged with remote-controlled bombs and herded into built-up areas before they are exploded.
Two of the booby-trapped bovines were spotted by residents in Al Islah, Iraq, on Saturday, strapped with explosive vests on the northern side of the village, according to local police commander Col. Ghalib Al-Atyia in Diyala Province.
One bomb was detonated remotely when a cow was close to houses, killing the animal and damaging properties.
