Fighters for the Islamic State were just caught fleeing Mosul dressed in women’s clothing and wearing make up.

Seeking to go under cover as women, they were caught because they forgot one obvious detail.

Per Daily Mail:

A Jihadist attempted to flee Mosul in a disguise similar to a pantomime dame, but was caught when he forgot to shave off his beard and moustache. The ISIS fighter was trying to get away from the former militant stronghold as the city was recaptured, but didn’t quite get his escape plan right. Dressed in women’s clothes and with elaborate make-up, the bearded man forgot to get rid of his facial hair. In photos released by the Iraqi army after his capture, the man can be seen to have slathered on powder, eyeshadow and lipstick, even adding some beauty spots. But the large moustache and beard as well as full eyebrows, rather give the game away.

With much of the city in ruin, the fighters used any means necessary to escape:

Other photos released by the army show the men in padded bras as they try to slip through the net and out of the city. — Advertisement — Much of the city has been leveled, with rubble and dust covering what was once a thriving neighborhood in Iraq. Nearly a third of the Old City – more than 5,000 buildings – was damaged or destroyed in the final three weeks of bombardment up to July 8, according to a survey by UN Habitat using satellite imagery. Across the city, 10,000 buildings were damaged over the course of the war, the large majority in western Mosul, the scene of the most intense artillery, airstrikes and fighting during the past five months. The survey only covers damage visible in satellite photos, meaning the real number is likely higher.
