In
the last month, the Islamic State has tried to use small drones to
launch attacks at least two other times, prompting American commanders
in Iraq to issue a warning to forces fighting the group to treat any
type of small flying aircraft as a potential explosive device.
The
Islamic State has used surveillance drones on the battlefield for some
time, but the attacks — all targeting Iraqi troops — have highlighted
its success in adapting readily accessible technology into a potentially
effective new weapon. American advisers say drones could be deployed
against coalition forces by the terrorist group in the battle in Mosul.
