    Innovation in terror techniques
    Credits:
  • Terror groups are becoming innovative in their attempt to strike any target of their choosing.

    Recently, Islamic State in Syria was the first to use animals to bomb enemy factions: they would strap birds/chickens with explosives to target government buildings.

    In India, domestic terror groups are reportedly not being able to recruit sufficient 'fidayeen' or 'suicide bombers' and may use tactics similar to IS.
