ISIS comes out with bizarre recruitment video

May 10, 2015 18:20

A new goofy Islamic State recruitment video has emerged that shows terrorists performing bizarre training drills like jumping through flaming hoops in a bid to lure impressionable minds.

In the terror group's latest propaganda video, posted on YouTube, the Islamist fighters are depicted doing training drills some of which are edited to make them look extra quick and slick.

Dressed head to toe in black, the jihadists lift each other up, do somersaults and jump through windows with AK-47 assault rifles in the 10-minute video, one of at least five low-budget training clips put out by the group in the past year.

The video was reportedly shot outside Homs, Syria, the New York Post reported.

Jihadists bearing Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifles are also shown trying their hand at military manoeuvres.

Certain sections of the film, such as when a group of men seem to imitate a Hollywood action film by storming a house, have been sped up to look more impressive.
