…The 'Islamic State'. "The group began in 2004 as al Qaeda in Iraq, before rebranding as ISIS two years later. It was an ally of – and had similarities with -- Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda: both were radical anti-Western militant groups devoted to establishing an independent Islamic state in the region.

Thanks for sharing this. I read in an article on the BBC yesterday that ISIS has control of an oil field in Syria and is supposedly collecting $2 USD million a month in revenues – all tax free of course. Based on reported 2010 volumes and assuming they control it for a year, this is over 40% of what Syria produces. Supposedly most Syrian oil goes to Germany, Italy, and France; surely they are not buying oil from ISIS, so who is buying it? Seems we need to stop that line of funding. |

The oil will end up on the international market where it will end up "laundered."

Keep in mind that since there are still wells in the hands of legitimate ownership in both Iraq and Syria, it is difficult to simply turn away product from those source countries. |
