The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shams (Isis) has become the richest terror group ever after looting 500 billion Iraqi dinars - the equivalent of $429m (£256m) - from Mosul's central bank, according to the regional governor.
Nineveh governor Atheel al-Nujaifi confirmed Kurdish televison reports that Isis militants had stolen millions from numerous banks across Mosul. A large quantity of gold bullion is also believed to have been stolen.
Following the siege of the country's second city, the bounty collected by the group has left it richer than al-Qaeda itself and as wealthy as small nations such as Tonga, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands and the Falkland Islands.

fricking wonderful.
One of those agreements to leave soldiers over there could have come in handy right about now.

Well, with that kind of scratch, we need to now, more than ever, fund and arm their opposition in the region! John Kerry was right all along!!

I love how these groups continuously violate the tenets of their religion all in the name of God. Islam is one fricked up religion.

George Clooney is behind this, I'm sure of it.

ISIS has also taken over Tikrit, a former Saddam stronghold, and taken 48 hostages including diplomats.
shite's getting real over there very quickly.

What'll they do with the money? Invest it? Bonds? Stocks? Real Estate? Explosives?
