ISIS Militants now sell internal organs of hostages for funds

It was revealed that ISIS has been
recruiting foreign doctors for
months to harvest internal organs
from bodies of living hostages and
their own dead soldiers
Recent claims say that the Islamic state
ISIS has turned to organ trafficking to
fund terror across the middle east.
Sources say the terror group until now filled its
$2million-a-year war chest from a variety of
shadowy sources including oil production, human
trafficking and drug smuggling.
It was revealed that ISIS has been recruiting
foreign doctors for months to harvest internal
organs from bodies of living hostages and their
own dead soldiers.
Hostages also includes children snatched from
minority communities in Iraq and Syria.
The news was revealed in a report by al-Monitor
news website, citing an Iraqi ear, nose and throat
doctor named Siruwan al-Mosuli.
He told the site that "IS commanders have hired
foreign doctors to run an extensive organ
trafficking system from a hospital in the captured
city of Mosul, northern Iraq, that is already
beginning to generate huge profits."
The terror organisation has reportedly set up an
organ-smuggling division with sole responsibility
of selling human hearts, livers and kidneys on
the lucrative international black market, reports
claim.
'[Al-Mosuli] said that lately he
noticed unusual movement within
medical facilities in Mosul Arab and
foreign surgeons were hired, but
prohibited from mixing with local
doctors,' the report's » author
wrote. 'Information then leaked
about organ selling.'
The report went on: 'Surgeries take
place within a hospital and organs
are quickly transported through
networks specialized in trafficking
human organs. Mosuli said that the
organs come from fallen fighters
who were quickly transported to the
hospital, injured people who were
abandoned or individuals who were
kidnapped.'
'Most of the organs are then
smuggled out of Syria and Iraq into
neighboring countries like Saudi
Arabia or Turkey where criminal
gangs sell them on to shady buyers
across the globe' , the Assyrian
International News Agency reported.
While organ harvesting may be the most shocking
of IS' revenue streams, the report highlights a
string of others that contribute to the group's
$2million annual income.
