Bollywood music as a weapon of mass destruction! Amazed?

Yes, British special forces fighting against the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) are blasting desi Bollywood music as a new psychological warfare weapon.

This was done on the advice of a Pakistani-born intelligence officer.

The Pakistani-born intelligence officer with the British Army said that Bollywood tunes would annoy ISIS, which considers music un-Islamic.

“We needed to unnerve militants and at the same time use some sort of passive measure to gauge their force strength in the area we are working and it went well,” a source told the ‘Daily Mirror’.
