AN ISIS militant desperately trying to escape death becomes a laughing stock when he disguises himself as a 'bush'.

Video footage shows the panicked jihadi put grass on his head to avoid being seen by an Iraqi helicopter flying overhead.

The terrorist was caught off guard when his convoy was hit by Iraqi Army Aviation in the Anbar desert.

Ducking for cover to avoid being shot down by the helicopter, the militant lies face-down in the greenery.

He puts grass on his head as he waits for the helicopter to fly over.

Believing the coast is clear, the fighter peaks out from his hiding place - staring directly at the camera - before planting his face in the ground once again.
