US drops graphic leaflet to possible Islamic State recruits
The United States has dropped 60,000 copies of a graphic leaflet near the northern Syrian city of Raqqah that depict potential Islamic State recruits being fed into a meat grinder. The leaflets are part of an information campaign to discourage people from joining the extremist group.
Army Col. Steve Warren released a copy of the leaflet Thursday in response to media requests. The drawing shows seven young men standing in line under a sign that says Daesh Recruiting Office. Daesh is the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.
