Twisted ISIS bomb makers rigged PlayStation controls with explosives to target children

Twisted ISIS terrorists booby-trapped fake computer game controllers with explosives in a horror plot to maim innocent children.
The evil jihadists rigged household items, turning TV remotes, phones and fake PlayStation controllers into weapons to target civilians.
The homemade devices were discovered by the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) charity, who are clearing explosives left by IS in villages and towns before they withdrew from northern Iraq.
Some of the devices, which were found in schools and hospitals as well as homes, feature in a grim gallery at MAG’s training base in Chamchamal, Kurdistan.
Salaam Muhammed, who has been with MAG Iraq since 2014 and has disarmed more than 2,300 devices left by IS, showed journalist Nicole Wooton-Cane a small glass case containing some of the booby-traps: a water tap with wires protruding from its base; clothes pegs hooked up to batteries; rigged games controllers designed to kill.
In a report published in the Mirror, Salaam said civilians who fled the IS “caliphate” found their homes transformed into death traps on return.

He said: “ISIS used different techniques to terrorise people. Some of their mines were laid in the ground, others were built into mosques, homes, schools, and so on.”

“ISIS booby-trapped things like refrigerators and air conditioners. In an area ISIS occupied for eight months we found 25 booby-trapped houses.”

MAG, which is based in Manchester, also finds landmines, cluster munitions and unexploded bombs and have been working in Iraq since 1992.

The Iraqi government has declared their war with IS over. But hundreds of improvised explosive devices, IEDs, remain.
