Maggie123 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 ISIS Militants Laden With Weapons, Stolen Cash Head for Baghdad IRBIL, Iraq -- Heavily armed Islamist militants flush with $450 million in stolen cash pushed toward Baghdad on Friday, sending thousands fleeing in fear from the Iraqi capita Al Qaeda-linked insurgents who overran large parts of the north of the country earlier this week also seized about $450 million during a bank heist, Mosul Mayor Athier Nujaifi told NBC News. That makes the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) the world's richest terrorist group. The Sunni fighters were reportedly only about 40 miles from Baghdad on Friday. Drivers were charging Iraqis trying to leave the city as much as $100 – many times the daily salary of an average Iraqi worker. The U.S.-backed government was rounding up potential recruits, signing on anyone willing to go to fight against ISIS, a hardline group that has vowed to capture Baghdad. American-trained and equipped Iraqi troops have been surrendering in droves - providing the ISIS militants with weapons, including Humvees once used by U.S. forces. An Iraqi soldier who surrendered to ISIS in Mosul told NBC News he was ashamed of his actions but was following his commanding (Suuni) officer’s orders. Hussein al-Shiblie claimed that the officers in Mosul appeared to have a deal with ISIS. Militants also marched into the towns of Saadiyah and Jalawla in the eastern province of Diyala after security forces abandoned their posts early on Friday, security sources told Reuters. On Thursday, ISIS declared Shariah law was in effect in the areas they controlled, outlawed other forms of Islamic worship and ordered woman to wear the hijab – a traditional Muslim head and body covering. They also declared that no other armed forces would be tolerated except ISIS. Meanwhile, a United Nations official told Reuters that the number of people killed after ISIS militants overran Mosul may run into the hundreds. Signs pointed to the worsening sectarian and ethnic tensions, with a representative of Iraq's most influential Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani urging people to take up arms and defend their country from the insurgents. And in the northern oil-rich city of Kirkuk, Kurdish forces had moved in to take over posts abandoned by the Iraqi army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie123 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Why are yo'all buying the Kool aid,The UN,Parliament and Maliki's own party isn't buying it.. Here is me asking you nicely, once again... Keep your Koolaide in the rumor section... it's fair game there. There is no room nor patience for the die hard 3.50 RV pumpers in the news section right now. If you have something besides guru spew to add it would be welcome here. How could there be 500 billion in that bank when only a month or so ago they did not have enough currency to pay the workers ??? something missing about this whole trumped up bank robbery . Chinadawg it was 450 million DOLLARS or 500 billion DiNAR (big difference) in a Suuni bank... perhaps you are thinking of the Kurds that Maliki cut off from all funding a few months ago... they are the ones who could not pay their workers. It's not a big stretch to believe that a Bank would be holding that much in cash, especially since CBI has been making their shipments of cash less frequently because of security reasons... maybe the Suuni bank just got a new shipment? I dunno... Much appreciated Maggie, Well hopefully the most richest terrorist will be the most dead soon. Thank You Siberian_Shaddow... That's my hope too. . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
