The Mad-Max-style tunnelling machines ISIS use to help squirrel their cowardly leaders out of war-torn Mosul
Iraqi forces hoped to 'pick off' fleeing jihadi warlords as they are funnelled into kill zone but now it's suspected they could be escaping under their noses
BIZARRE tunnelling machines are being found in Mosul as anti-ISIS forces move to expel the death cult and capture its crazed leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Mad Max style boring machines are being discovered as Iraqi forces have entered the Iraqi town for the first time in more than two years and are battling jihadist in fierce fighting.
Among those they hope to snare and kill is ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi who is trapped in Mosul and looking for a way out.
The second most wanted man in the world has a $10million bounty on his head and he’s the number one target for those fighting to recapture Mosul.
But after the tunnelling machines have been found hidden among homes, fears are growing that the ISIS leader and his cronies may slip away in a secret labyrinth of tunnels.
The deluded al-Baghdadi issued desperate rallying call today to his warped followers — telling them they will WIN the battle of Mosul.
His desperation has been likened to Adolf Hitler in his final days of World War 2 in a bunker under Berlin as the Soviet Union closed in.
In his first message for over a year, the self-declared ‘caliph’ told jihadists to make infidels’ blood “flow like rivers”.
