IS launches terror app aimed at children

Author: Web Desk

The Islamic State has taken its ideological warfare to the next level by launching an application geared towards educating children on terrorist activities.

The app, called Huroof, teaches children how to spell out words such as grenades and rocket launchers using pictures and bright colours, with a black ISIS flag fluttering in the background. Users gain points by giving correct answers, with the points used to unlock Western landmarks which the children can then destroy.

The children are also given a choice of weapons to choose when exterminating their targets, which include commercial airliners.

Though ISIS has previous history in using technology to spread and assist in their activities, however this is the first time that they have targeted children directly.
