Iraq islamists loot bank, become crazy rich

The ISIS militant group that has been seeding terror in Iraq for the last week already had a reputation for being extremely ruthless. In fact, they were so ruthless that even al-Qaeda disowned them.

 

Now , after looting the central bank in Mosul, they will also be known as the world's richest terrorist group.

 

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, broke into Mosul's central bank and came out $429 million richer.

 

ISIS was a force to fear before becoming the richest terrorist group on the planet. With their upgraded financial status they can now 'buy a whole lot of Jihad,' as Washington Post puts it.

 

One investement they could make is pay 60,000 terrorists around $600 a month to do their biddings for an entire year.

 

ISIS could very likely become more dangerous than al-Qaeda itself.
