British special forces use Bollywood music to unnerve ISIS militants.

According to an article posted on the the digital media website Mashable, British special forces have adopted an unusual approach in psychological warfare, using Bollywood music to unnerve and annoy ISIS militants.

The idea is said to have been inspired by a Pakistani-origin intelligence officer, who claimed that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria considered Bollywood songs as un-Islamic.

In another incident, they also saturated  intercepted ISIS internal communications with Bollywood music. Other experiments reported having revealed hiding places and weaknesses of the militant group. Alfred Bayle
