Birds as Suicide Bombers

Move over human bombs, the latest is that birds are now turning into ‘suicide’ bombers. Confused? Well, birds are reportedly being used as a suicide bomber by terrorists. In an attempt to fight and bring down the well-armed military, relatively less-equipped insurgents in Afghanistan seem to have found this “novel” technique. 

The Taliban seem to be using such a strategy and the Afghan police reportedly shot a bird which had been equipped by the terrorists with an explosive pouch, a GPS tracker and a detonator. The bird had several wires protruding from its feathers, a mobile phone detonator and a specially designed ‘suicide vest’. 

Police spotted the suspicious-looking bird and their suspicions increased as the large bird is not known to be native to the area. An investigation is going on.
