A video posted by Iraqi pro-government militias fighting the Islamic State in Mosul claims that the extremist group is tying stray dogs with improvised explosives to use them against advancing security forces in western Mosul.

The video shows three members of al-Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Units) crouching near a small dog which Islamic State, according to the men featured in the clip, wired with three bottles filled with explosive materials.
