The Boko Haram terror group seems to be running out of suicide bombers according to recent developments.

According to the UK Independent, the group is strapping bombs to birds as it continues to develop more deadly weapons in its bloody insurgency in Africa.

The commander of a coalition battling the Isis-affiliated militants, Major General Lamidi Adeosun, revealed the discovery at a meeting with American diplomats and security officials.

He showed gruesome photos of the victims of Boko Haram’s attacks and their latest weapons during the briefing at the Multinational Joint Task Force's headquarters in Chad on Wednesday.

One picture showed a bird with an explosive strapped on its back, demonstrating “a lot of ingenuity,” he said.

It is not the first report of birds being used to carry explosive devices. In July 2015, photos emerged claiming to show bombs strapped to chickens by Isis fighters in the Iraqi city of Fallujah.

There was speculation that they could be resorting to increasingly bizarre means of destruction while running out of ammunition but the account could not be verified.
