Islamist militants with the newly renamed “Islamic State” paraded military hardware through the streets of a Syrian town on Monday, including what appeared to be a Scud missile, tanks and armored personnel carriers seized from government forces.
The group — which announced it is rebranding itself from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria to simply the “Islamic State” — has made wide territorial gains in both Syria and neighboring Iraq and has also grabbed copious amounts of military equipment, ranging from automatic weapons to American-made Humvees and even helicopters, according to some reports.
Video and photos from the parade show masked men standing on a truck carrying the Scud and on top of tanks – reported to be T-55s, according to the British Telegraph newspaper – and waving black Islamic State flags.
Cars driving behind the military hardware waved black flags and honked in celebration.
