ISIS Mistakenly Kills Most Of Its Soldiers Fighting Immense Mirror (SAT PAR News Jul 08, 2014) The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) currently taking over huge areas of territory in Iraq and moving into Syria and targeting Baghdad has committed a fatal military blunder. A 5 mile long mirrored installation by artist Leandro Erlich installed in 2000 made of highly polished stainless steel located outside the battle zone of Tikrit has brought the downfall of ISIS. The artwork original intention was to to hide the city, Erlich explained in an interview with Sat Par News in April of this year, "At 5 miles long and 500 feet high it acts as a cloaking device, all you see is the countryside, the city is invisible. But if you walk up to it, you see yourself, but in such a large view, it appears to be a different person." It is just such an eerie side-effect that has defeated ISIS. A large number of fighters attempted to shoot the similar looking soldiers in the mirror and thought they were losing as the bullets and mortars bounced right back off the polished steel. Most of the initial troops were killed. ISIS kept calling for more backup but with the same result. Early estimates are approximately 8,000 soldiers killed by ricocheting bullets and shrapnel.
