Suicide bombers are often pumped full of drugs before they are sent on a mission, giving them red eyes and a distinctive look of confusion.

They are known to take a substance called "captagon" to turn themselves into "unforgiving killing machines", , but there are also a number of other drugs favoured by the jihadis.

Some terrorists take scopolamine and pentothal, which were once used by the CIA as "truth drugs".

These substances send users into a state of "twilight sleep" and could allow suicide bombers to overcome their fear of death.

ISIS also pumps zealots full of drugs which are similar to amphetamines and have names like Congo, Bazooka and Abu Malaf.

These often leave extremists suffering from a crippling addiction, further boosting their reliance on their crual jihadi masters.

Dr. Abdulghafoor Turkistani, a researcher at the Faculty of Pharmacy at King Saud University in Riyadi, said "amphetamine and its derivatives is highly used among suicide bombers and terrorist organizations wishing to recruit fighters, as subjects often become addicts and begin to lose consciousness and awareness while accepting orders".
