ISIS propaganda chiefs have updated the terror group’s phone app aimed at brainwashing kids with a sick game that allows tots to launch 9/11-style atrocities on landmarks like Big Ben.

The pro-jihadi Arabic language app, which vibrates when kids detonate explosives or open fire after writing words like ‘rocket’ and ‘tank’, now includes games where children can destroy the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower.

Col John Dorrian, the spokesman for Operation Inherent Resolve, the international coalition fighting ISIS, told the :  "The reward for learning something in this app is to get points that they can use to select the terrorism target of their choice. Western landmarks that the child can choose and attack using a variety of weapons, including commercial airliners."

In September ISIS released an accompanying children’s TV-style workbook featuring cartoon grenades, rockets, assault rifles and even a suicide bomb vest.

The enhanced programme, which can be downloaded from jihadi websites, also has a workbook where kids practice writing out words using pictures – in this case grenades, attack helicopters and passenger planes, according to SITE.

Brightly-coloured trains and trees rub alongside the sinister black flag of the Islamic State on the cover of the terror textbook.

The download is available for Android phones and tablets only as ISIS bans Apple products over fears users can be traced by intelligence services.

Boys dress in camouflage gear and begin military training when they are just seven years old so they can be turned into the next generation of fighters.

Disturbing pictures and video of an orphanage in Mosul, Iraq, show youngsters settling down in front of a TV to watch ISIS propaganda videos and boys dressed in combat fatigues performing military exercises in a playground.

ISIS is suffering from a chronic shortage of troops due to fewer radicals travelling to join the regime from foreign nations and punishing air strikes and land offensives.
