ISIS Unleash "Scorpion" Bombs In Iraq
Just when you thought you had seen it all, Islamic State militants turn up the amplifier of terror to 11. As The Mirror reports, ISIS is launching bombs containing live scorpions as the latest terror weapon in Iraq. Canisters of the creatures are being blasted into towns and villages, according to a British military expert who has just returned from the country. Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, ex-head of chemical and biological weapons for the Army and Nato, said: "it's madness. IS have improvised devices to launch them." The weapon harks back to the scorpions stuffed into pots and launched by Iraqis thousands of years ago – in 198 AD.
Islamic State militants are launching bombs containing live scorpions as the latest terror weapon in Iraq.
Canisters of the creatures are being blasted into towns and villages, according to a British military expert who has just returned from the country.
Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, ex-head of chemical and biological weapons for the Army and Nato, said: “It’s madness. IS have improvised devices to launch them.
"They promote the fact that they are doing it and it creates panic."
“Scorpions are robust – even if they are launched a couple of miles, when the canister breaks thousands are flung out and start crawling all around.
"Some scorpions are very poisonous but the main thing is creating fear."
He said the 2ft bombs were not causing mass casualties but had a massive “psychological impact”.
Mr de Bretton-Gordon – of Avon Protection Systems – returned from Baghdad last week, where he was advising security forces.
Senior Iraqi officials reported the beasts were being used to target civilian areas in the north of the country.

They were defending themselves against the Roman invasion.

Is this a biological weapon then?
Not sure. But definitely a rayciss one.
"Here I am, rock you like a hurricane"
"Run away!!!"
I call bullshit on this story. Yet another propoganda fable. Well played media shills! Next up: Trebuchets with Plague infested -er- Ebola riddled corpses over your siege walls. Wicker baskets full of cobras want in on this action.
Anyone serving in the ME should already know to tip their boots upside-down in the morning, before slipping their toes inside.
It's like the Muslin version of SHARKNADO!!!!
Except Sharknado is more realistic than this propaganda piece.
isis bomb on scorpion = USA BATS with mini napalm against japan in WW2..... just to say.
and a British company is launching biotech mosquitoes;

Scorpion warfare is like paisley ties; old and outdated but making a stylish comeback. It predates Guerilla warfare (which the kids call "asymetric warfare") by centuries.
As long as they don't put any cyber scorpion on my computer I say; "well played ISIS, way to kick it up a notch".
And what will our answer be?? Rain 130mm from an AC-130 onto the same cities and people?
Are we going to bomb the cities with organic scorpion andidote?
Civilians are definitely getting the shaft scorpion in this conflict.
Can we strap Tara Reid to a bomb?
Call me when they start launching cows. Fetchez la vache!
I won't boar anyone with my idea of animalistic warfare then ;-)
I see what you did there.
The scorpions have got to be pretty pissed about this.
Here I am.
Rock you like a hurricane!

Walking through the desert
You know what it's about
It's really from the church
Too foreign
That was never there
Yet you know I'm in heaven
But it is a hell
Sun is drying up my brain
The smile and installations are my pain
I'm going mad, I'm going mad
I'm going mad
Walking through the desert
You know what it's about
It's really from the church
Too foreign
That was never there
I'm going mad
Sun is drying out my brain
The smile and installations are my pain
I'm going mad, I'm going mad
I'm going mad, mad

I'll give the Scorpions their due.
They were a German band that sang in English.
That had to be a bitch. I take my hat off to them.
Send in the Japanese women with their chopsticks. They will eat the fuckers live by first biting off their stingers. As I have always said, if you have a problem with critters, just start telling folks that they are delicious and the problem will be solved. Pass the rat please !!!
"I won't boar anyone with my idea of animalistic warfare then ;-)"
Swine flew? Definite biological warfare.
Ask any fanatic
That walks in the sand
What's the best Scorpion?
Lobster of the Land®
LOL. It's the "RETURN OF THE SCORPION KING".
Do. Not. Panic.
The US pharmaceuticals have antidote packs that they'll airdrop. Thanks to the Cromnibus and its Reserve currency.
I need more wine, cause I feel like I live in a Twilight episode.
Now even a poor ole scorpion cannot escape the madness
Its another manmade temporary disruption of life garrrreeeennnn kinetic energy action!
Of course, the shreaded scorpions might feel differently, where's PETA on this? ;-)
unless ya can make a fur coat out of scorps I'm not thinking the PETA assholes care
Gawd, they're so bigoted.
All life matters! ;-)
Claws up, don't launch!
;-)
#TruthDoesn'tMatter...infidel!!!
Tuesdays winning comment right here folks.
We're gonna party like it's 198 AD.
Yes. We need C Powel paraded out in front of the UN demanding unilateral NATO strikes against this WMD threat. These guys are getting medievel on our ass!
So it's back to raping the women, enslaving the men, stealing the gold and sowing salt into the fields. Just like old times.
Smallpox infected blankets, anyone?
How about using catapults to launch bubonic plague infected rats over the walls?
How do stories like this affect people who neither read nor think, and catch stories like these between football games?
whatever ISIS... we're from Texas... I see more scorpions at a job site than those fellers can possibly think to launch... shyet, I caught my cat playing with one the other day, didn't want the hassle at the vet so I picked it up by the tail and threw its ass back outside
hell, shining a black light in your typical Texas living room in the middle of the night would have most ISIS guys running for cover...
Well there's an idea. ;)
So isrealis are farming scorpions, why didnt they throw scorpions at american troops in trucks instead of providing the roadside bombs.
Scorpian bombs: "Geez, I wish we had one of those." -- General Buck Turdgeson
hahahahaha
Foward into the past. Thank you, Zion!
They're going to get the Fad King in on this one and sell mail order scorpion bombs in ZISIS magazine.
Manufactured in northern israel like the tee shirts and flags.
+ 10 for the fad king ref see wag the dog is back again say it isn't so making movies with hints of what the criminals actually do... my tinfoil is on to tight er sumthin
damn hollyweird zionuts line em up with the banksters and disperse the lead down range
it's a put up job
"but what if they find out"
"what if who finds out?"
"the american people"
"who's gonna tell em?"
only works if you're affraid of "bugs" or don't own shoes what next
Ohh I know the cat-a-pault feral cats from on high
You have obviously never been stung by a scorpion. Depending on the species, it can hurt like a m'fer.
Been there. It feels like fire, but only for a minute or so.
well I have and I'll tell what hurts more being stung 20+ times by mud wasps while doing tree work 15 feet off the ground swinging from a rope the kids "pet" scorp sting was nothing in comparison ps always best to ask before you assume ;)
they dont hurt nearly as bad a 2000 pound high-explosive bomb dropped on your house.
If this is cold-war brinkmanship by ISIS, not sure how this is going to play out. I say we drop leaflets outlining the obscene destructive power of the holy hand grenade of antioch.
I don't know what kind of weapons WWIII will be fought with but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.........and scorpion bombs
I have.
You're a pussy. Use your big gun on them.
Acutally, there are several species in that part of the Middle East that are exceptionally lethal, even to adults.
or cue the monty python rabbit
I'm going to watch no country for old men can't take much more of this stupidity
lol
wow tough crowd junked for laughing did you piss in someones shoe earlier or what
lol...a man seems to be judged lately by the mob of how many enemies & friends he has at the end of the day, as if this amounts to a some sort of real justice. This has never concerned me, my friends know who I am & who my enemies are as well as I do and I have very few friends, they know I can put my life in their hands (their responsibility) and they can put theirs in mine (my responsibility)...and thats really all it takes.
Just trust.
In the end, it really just comes down to this. Courage does seem in short supply now and true friends will be shown when the music finally stops.
Interestingly, the two environmental disasters I experienced showed me the true colors of all involved very quickly. Some left my side and placed their faith in authority. I know now how far they are to be trusted.
Miffed
The translated name for this weapon is 'Wind of Change'.
Just call Spiderman.
ISIS. Creation of some truly fucked tribe minds
I want Robbie Parker and Gene Rosen's take on ISIS.
“...read from the card...”
An American, not US subject.
Still say, a few ebola bombs and ISIS could appeal to the UN for financial support.
Someone does have it in for you. No reason to mark that comment down. Ditto your LOL above.
I downvoted the both of yas just to start the desensitization process. I invite others to join me !!!
I have an exceedingly dirty joke (or six) I am refraining from. Really. I have had to erase so many comments, it's like walking through a sexual harassment mine field.
Let em Fly MsC, we are completely anon here !!!
Completely anonymous and do whatever you want? This is just like an airport bathroom!
<taps foot on floor>
pods
198 AD? Thats pretty modern thinking for a mussie.
People volunteer for this in America on TV shows like fear factor.
The CIA should've requested more money to keep their outfitted with ammo!
Sequestration strikes again only this time to the lesser known military expenditures.
I guess given the choice, Ill take a bomb full of scorpions rather than a a bomb full of high explosives.
If this is real, then ISIS is now a laughing stock. amazing what $50 oil can do. "God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly"
The wild ones can, I hunt them ;-)
me too and they taste goooooood ;) fucker now i'm hungry again lol
Reminds me of the Japanese who placed plague infested fleas into sealed jars filled with sand and dropped them. They didn't work very well, but probably did create terror.
We need to send advisor exterminators immediately.
Americans are so stupid they can't seem to put together that none of these cats showed up until we started arming the Syrian Rebels.
And yet... here we are... what a fucking country...
Greatest Country in the Worldtm. Greatest. You hear that, pal? These colors don't run. Land of the free, home of the brave. That kind of stuff.
Got that?
Now git me another can of Old Milwaukee and let's praise Jesus and watch some non-athletes run around chasing an oddly-shaped ball for 11 minutes out of a possible 60.
Imagine being waterboarded with Old Milwaukee. Now that is torture.
SIM,
You Assad worshipers could not bear to have your favorite genocidal killer removed from power. You dream of being able to just kill any opposition as he has done.
What a moron.
So what's stopping us from going after the House of Saud for doing much of the same things, for a lot longer time?
Hmm????
Tool.
Becuase the .01% of world care for each other. For the rest of us, not so much.
I keep seeing you post this blind pro USA position. You can't believe this shit you say, you gotta be paid.
I feel sorry for you. Things have to be pretty bad for you to make a living like this. The most pro-US folks I know personally do not agree with EVERY POSITION the US takes. The real one's have some level of criticism for their govt. but they are generally for them. You are rabidly with every single position that backs corporations and all US government positions.
I remember you from YEARS ago. You used to hassle George Washington back in the day. Defend big oil. Claim Fukushima was not all that bad.
No one is that stupid. And you aren't either.
Don't feed the trolls ;)
Just hours ago we were "The Putin worshipers."

Kim Kardashian, now that was an Ass-ad.
is this a fucking joke?! come on now?
Actually i think these guys stand out in the sun, too long !! it has baked their brains
this is absurd !!!
Actually, as terrorist organizations go, they've been rather entertaining.
Oil getting pretty close to the ISIS $30 selling price... just sayin'.
After the beheadings, I guess they were down to the scorpions or torture....thank G-O-D, they chose this!
After a few mins of real thought and looking at this again HOW THE FUCK CAN THIS BE A PSYCHOLOGICAL WEAPON ??? THESE PEOPLE LIVE IN AND AROUND THESE CRITTERS 24/7 this is akin to a country woman being affraid of fucking mice the propaganda these days is really getting sad
Its psychological in the sense that if you are bombed by a can of scorpions, your are going to think "man, those ISIS are dipshit stupid..." It s a positive psycological implact.
I don't believe it.
yeah, the $70 billion high school hedge fund manager story was more fun.
Anachrophobia (Scorpions are arachnids) is wide-spread in the general population, so the CIA could have gone with poisonous spider bombs if they really wanted to get their phobia-associative terror message across to the largest segment of their target audience (That would be us). This ludicrous "weapon" is proof positive that ISIS is a PR campaign by the same intel boys who brought to the Vietnam war extra large condoms fit for a lamp post parachuted to the enemy to "demoralize" them. They are quite mad, in an infantile way.
"extra large condoms fit for a lamp post parachuted to the enemy"
Did that actually happen?
I heard about it a very long time ago when I was a kid, and it seems others have too.
"Folklore has it that along the same lines, though pitching at a slightly lower angle, American psy-op specialists in Vietnam left foot-long condoms along the Ho Chi Minh Trail"
A short history of psy-ops
Did'nt work. They had some Mama Sans in Saigon who could have handled that with ease.
We long-dicked some folks...
Yea.....We Scorpioned a few folks...

Mohammad you are on scorpion duty bring me 6000 kilos pronto.
"We scorpioned some folks.."
Buy them for $4 and sell them to Iraquis for $10? More fun than tennis and satisfying pop when they fry.

Iraq you like a hurricane!
And Goldman to catapult baby squids..
The cradle of civilization. Yeah right.
Pathetic! What a bunch of losers.
I wonder how it stacks up against th Bat Bomb. Believe me, SIS doesn't have a monopoly on hair-brained ideas.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bomb
From the article:
"Errant bats from the experimental Bat Bomb set the Carlsbad Army Airfield Auxiliary Air Base, New Mexico on fire."
USA!USA!USA!
LOL what a fuckin' joke.
Ok look, the "company" has project managers. One is in charge of, say, the Senkaku non-issue. One is in charge of fake school shootings in Pakistan and Connecticut. One is in charge of the Russian situation. There is a major, major quality difference between the guy handling this Russian thing versus the fucking amateur hour with this "ISIS" bullshit.
Sheesh, I could do it better myself.
How about we fire africanized bee nests at them? Lets see who runs the fastest.
Those bees get real pissed when jolted.
Those alphabet cannibals must be scripted by Hollywood.
They probably are, in fact.
Right now, there are a handful of Biotechs looking for the no bid contract for anti-scorpion venom....
What next, the burning bag of poop bomb?
They are going to toilet paper villages if they don't cooperate.....thats why they have to use their hand, stockpiling toilet paper for the invasion.
I had two scorpions. They are really fragile and don't hold up well because of they weigh too much for their exoskeleton. Either that or the wife was feeding them McDonald's. I guess if you packed them in pretty good or put a parachute on them they could survive an impact. But it sounds like propaganda to me. Although if you would have said that the scorpions were stuffing containers full of ISIS warriors and catapulting them into other scorpions habitats I might have believed it.
Actually we have quite a few where I live. Skittish and prefer to hang under rocks. I imagine if they survived the landing they'd run for cover traumatized. I once unearthed one from his hiding spot and he spun around waving his claws and tail at me in a pathetic attempt to scare me off. One boot sent him flying. Maybe a good defense would be the Indiana Jones method against snakes if truly outnumbered.
Miffed
When I'm in the desert camping I alway shake my boots out before I put them on.
all those oil barrels just start defacating in those on mass let them fill up and become an unholy slush of organic excrement and then launch on the enemy! SHIT BOMB!
Perhaps western forces should respond by dropping 30,000 lb. Mother-of-All-Porn-Bombs on ISIS. Instead of HE warheads, fill 'em with Hustler, Playboy, XXX and other mags. Complete and total PsyOps. Nothing like a little professionally edited western porn to have ISIS fighters laying down their rifles and reaching for their guns. Hell, those peckerheads might even surrender in mass if the West promised to give 'em lifelong subscriptions to the mag of their chioce.
bacon bomb with burning korans inside, will drive them crazier with rage.
We should catapult Central Bankers at ISIS, nothing could be more devastating...
Good idea , BUT, come on now, we would have to ship our own bankers from NY and London...
[significant pause in time]
...Hey let's catapult Central bankers at ISIS!
Ebola Ebola ISIS ISIS EBOLA Russia collapes ISIS EBOLA - shit media - bloomfuck
198AD wasn't "thousands of years ago" it was appx 1.8 thousand years ago. Sheesh.
Crap! I have to put "scorpion" on my list of terrorist words I can't use on the internet anymore.
you just did,lol....you cant use 'bush' either.....mmmm
Call the Orkin man!
Next Isis will fire barrels of sick goats.
If they really want to do damage have them ship in a few dozen of the Ferguson "demonstrators",
Maybe its time to stop messing around with these 8th century barbarians? How about we call the scorpion bomb, and raise them a couple dozen B83's airbursts? Maybe the airforce has the components for a couple B41's still lying around somewhere?
Wait till ISIS start dropping crateloads of lying politicians...
Once they start using WMDs the world will act against them.
I'll see the scorpion bomb and raise one carpet bomb.
Long scorpion futures or my sister makes $7Kworking from home raising scorpions.

"British military expert" means exactly "british plain idiot".
The poison of the scorpions is nothing compared to the poison of the US dollar that has been spread around all over the planet for the last 70 years.
Scorpion king says bullshit, no scorpion fly without ID.
Seriously who makes this shit up? ISSD? Improvised scorpion shooter device, beyond stupid.
Now if ya said intentionally importing Ebola patients as well as breaking an Ebola quarantine - that's terrorist plausible, but Scorpions? That's retarded, 911 truther shit.
"911 truther shit"
By which can we infer that you accept the Official 9/11 Cover-up.....er, Report?
