ISIS appears to have gained possession of U.S. made weapons in Iraq.

A video released by ISIS in northern Iraq shows more than a dozen of the groups fighters undergoing weapons training using American M16 rifles.

“It is noteworthy that the use of American rifles by Islamic State fighters is rare and is only seen in Iraq,” Flashpoint said in a research note, using another name for the militant group. “These rifles were likely left by U.S. forces or seized from Iraqi soldiers.”

ISIS propaganda content in the past has shown the jihadists flaunting what apepar to be U.S. made weapons, tanks and Humvees seized from retreating Iraqi forces.

The U.S. has previously supplied Iraq with hundreds of millions of dollars in military equipment, which includes Humvees. Iraq’s government said in June that it lost 2,300 Humvees to ISIS when the militants seized the city of Mosul.
