AN ISIS-backed hacking group has used an encrypted mobile app to call on supporters to carry out terror attacks with POISON.

The cyber terrorists posted a step-by-step manual on how to poison westerners which has already been downloaded by scores of followers.

Cyber Kahilafah - a pro-ISIS hacking unit - uploaded the guide on the Telegram app detailing how to make home-made poisons and kill "kuffars" (non-Muslims).

The banned manual, titled "The Mujahideen Poisons Handbook", explains how to make poison.

It also runs through a string of chemicals and gases which can kill people in lethal doses on the mobile app such as chlorine, phosphorus and carbon monoxide.

The guide, authored by jihadist Abel Aziz, appeared on the app which is being used by IS terrorists across the globe including the terrorists who killed a priest in northern France last month.

The guide claims to have tested poisons on rabbits and suggests dosage should be increased, describing how one rabbit "shrieked immediately" and died with "blood" coming from its mouth after being given one poison.

It includes a series of diagrams alongside detailed instructions on where to find the poisons and how to administer them against people.The author also warns jihadis to be careful when using poisons, saying: "Be very careful when preparing poisons. It is much, much more dangerous than preparing explosives!

"I know several Mujahids whose bodies are finished due to poor protection etc.

"On the positive side, you can be confident that the poisons have actually been tried and tested (successfully, he he!)."

Terror expert Neil Doyle said: "The emergence of such guides on Telegram is a cause for great concern, as they can be distributed far and wide in a very short time.

"There is great danger in the proliferation of this type of material, as would-be terrorists may seek to use them to cause mayhem in so-called lone wolf attacks.

"Also, the use of encryption potentially make tracing the people receiving these documents more difficult for the authorities.

"There is evidence to suggest that this guide may have been used in one suspected failed attack in London some years ago.

"A more recent case indicates that it has been studied by jihadists in Belgium."

The Cyber Kahilafah group has previously targeted enemies of IS and banks sharing huge swathes of customers' data on its Telegram channel.

It has also published step-by-step guides on making IEDs on the secretive channel which can be viewed by followers across the globe.

Jihadists are known to use the Telegram app - which is said to encrypt users messages from detection by the security services - to inspire and plot terror attacks.

Last month it was revealed jihadist Adel Kermiche boasted on the app "you take a knife, you go into a church, you cause carnage" before killing a French priest.

The maniac, 19, outlined his horrific plan to "cut off two or three heads" to 200 terror followers just a week before his rampage in Saint Etienne du Rouvray, Normandy.

In 2014 it was revealed a Neo-Nazi terror suspect Michael Piggin, then 18, had got hold of a copy of the Mujahideen poisons manual and was accused of plotting to attack a mosque and school.

A weapons expert at the teenager's trial said the poison recipes in the manual were viable.
