Al-Qaeda Jihadis Loot Over $400 Million From Mosul Central Bank, Seize Saddam's Hometown
As reported yesterday, in yet another humiliating blow to US foreign policy and the State Department, Al Qaeda-linked ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham) militants took over the key northern town of Mosul, where an unknown number of US-made Black Hawk helicopters were parked and have been captured by Al Qaeda (potentially the same forces that have been trained by the US across the border in Syria).
Adding insult to injury the Al Qaeda militants also appear to have looted some $429 million from local banks. From IBtimes:
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.
The financial assets that Isis now possess are likely to worsen the Iraqi governement's struggle to defeat the insurgency, which is aimed at creating an Islamic state across the Syrian-Iraqi border.
In other words, now that it is armed with US-made weapons, this particular al-Qaeda group also happens to be the world's richest terror force!
And so with all disposable cash it needs for a long time and armed to the teeth, what is Al Qaeda to do? Why continue expanding of course. Moments ago, via Reuters, we got confirmation that the "insurgents" have just captured yet another symbolic Iraqi town, Tikrit: the birthplace of none other than Saddam.
Sunni insurgents overran parts of the Iraqi city of Tikrit on Wednesday, security sources said.
Tikrit, which is located 150 km (95 miles) north of Baghdad, is the hometown of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein
And on the map:
Will they stop here? Of course not. Expect the ISIS force to continue south until finally it overruns Baghdad itself and until all of Iraq, courtesy of a crippled army, officially belongs to Al Qaeda. America's job is done here.
One can't wait until Al Qaeda is also in charge of all the other countries recently liberated by the US and/or CIA.

It's time to stop pussyfooting around, abandon the MiddleEast as unfixable and annex Canada which has energy resources for the US for the next 2 centuries...Putin would have done it already.
Why do Muslims love the English weather so much ?
Because it's either Sunny or Shiite
crazy tech
why do you sound like a cunt.
because you are either jewish
or an ass rape victim.
Hello - it's what is commonly known as a 'joke' - perhaps you have never heard of such a thing before ? And I have told this to a Muslim guy and he thought it was fucking funny ,BTW Are you calling Jews Cunts ? Or people who crack jokes ass rape victims ? Perhaps you should look in the mirror , because you will find yourself looking at the genuine article , You don't sound like a cunt , from what you have just written , you clearly are a cunt.
the cia mossad and mi6 have killed millions in these frank kitson psedo gang psy operations you fucking cunt.
then dumped 100s of tons of ge depleted uranium on em.
your joke stinks moshe get back to dancin just like your 911 mossad crew : )
Mate , you really do need to get back to your doctor ASAP , either the pills ain't working or the dose is too low. Maybe you could ask for a personality transplant at the same time .
Saddam used to hunt down and personally kill those Al Qaida guys, they hated him more than the Iranian mullahs
Sadly, the only way to 'control' these terrorist groups is to use 'uncivilized' methods like Saddam. You can also try to avoid terrorist groups, but that would take radical thngs like exploiting your own energy, building pipelines, drilling, and not trying to be the world's policeman.
They got tonnes of Gold and U.S. Dollars as well as U.S. Military hardware.This has all been planned by the present U.S. Administration and their Saudi Intelligence Allies.A lot of Iraqi Government Officials paid off on this one.This Obama Administration is as crooked as the hind leg of a rabid hyena.You can hear the rabid hyena laughing outload right now.Throw in crack-pots like PMS'd Victoria Nuland(The State Department Whore) for kickers.
Hilarious, let's go spend another couple Trillion of the stupid tax paying GOY'S fiat currency, which we get paid for printing out of thin air anyway, in order to, yet again, go get(overthrow, kill, regime change) our own funded, trained, and tasked "boogeyman" groups. After that, we can collapse the markets again and step in for the bargain buying of just about everything, and then we can start the cycle all over again. They Goy will be none the wiser, because they are cattle.

So the US spends billions on Al Qaeda and then Al-Q crosses the border and steals US military equipment.
Of course spending the same amount in Detroit would have been bleeding heart Socialism. I mean SOCIALISMMMMM my God NEVERRRRR.
Well, at least this time we didn't lose an ambassador and a few soldiers during the "arms transfer". So, I guess you could say horseface is doing a little better job than than the cunt.
Releasing dangerous terrorists and letting them get half a billion dollars. Sound like someone wants a boogie man to me.
Is $400 million enough to buy the US congress? Or just the senate? Or just the house?
400 million is what it takes to stock the toilet paper for congress. they are full of shit.
$429 million so what, Janet can push a button get 4000 billion and don't even make her pull out the trillion $ coin, bitchez
I am glad to see that we are getting good value from the money the CIA is spending on training terrorists. Now they have better equipment and all the money they need too.
damn, the local milita/police force is gonna be pissed. They have been waiting for delivery of their own blackhawk. Seems there is a 90 yr old granny growing tomatoes in her front yard. Yard gardens have been outlawed and that criminal bitch needs to be taken out. Now they can't afford to leave cici's.
Hey Tyler, you can´t just repost something from retarded MSM without checking the math first. It was supposedly 500 million dinars and the exchange rate is .00086. So, it equals 4-5 million dollars.
It's not the facts that matter, it's the click.
In reality, most of that money in the banks was already looted, with the militants left with the cash remainder and yellow painted metal bars. Bars that look like the real thing, just as those at the Federal Reserve gold depositories. Prices for apartments in Manhattan and London should be going up now with the influx of bearded Iraqis flying in with their new found Mosul wealth. Don't worry, Senator Feinstein and her other U.S. Senate colleagues who vociferoulsy approved funding this war already took out their cut years ago, billions to their families and friends for wartime contract work.
Sadam's revolutionary guard have awoken....
god I hope this means they will be able to afford a sparkley. With the blackhawks they can fly it over DC. We can all enjoy a nice dinner of wild mushrooms. yuuum, can't wait.
Gold Platted AK-47s for everybody!!! Yippee!!!
is it NOT OBVIOUS THAT UNITED STATES AND GULF STATES ARE FUNDING AL QUEDA AND DESTROYING NORTHERN IRAQ IN AN ATTEMPT
ON ONE HAND THEY TELL THE BAGHDAD GOVERNMENT THEY ARE 'HELPING' THEM.
ON THE OTHER THEY GIVE MONEY AND INFORMATION TO AL QUEDA IN THE NORTH TO DESTROY THEIR 2ND MAJOR CITY TO SET UP A BASE OF OPERATIONS AGAINST ASSAD IN SYRIA.
FUCKING GENIUS. OBAMA DID THIS WITHOUT HAVING TO SEND IN ANY LARGE NUMBERS OF MORE U.S. TROOPS TO INVADE SYRIA. OF COURSE WE HAVE MERCENARIES AND SUCH-----BUT SERIOUSLY
WE COULD TEACH GHENGHIS KHAN A THING OR TWO.
Al-Qaeda will use the money to buy US Treasuries from the Fed.
A net sum gain really.
The illusion of demand.
Someone has to buy the worthless shit?
hahaha ...
The USA is arming Al-Qaeda in Syria with the large TOW Anti Tank Missile systems. Capable of use by infantry, these long range anti tank missiles are good for all kinds of targets including fortified infantry positions and bunkers. The Syrian rebels have several videos up on youtube showing them using American TOW missiles in action. Of course Al-Qaeda is by far the major player in Syria, and the USA knows that the missiles will be falling into Al-Qaeda hands. The Obama administration has noted the Assad Syrian Arab Army being victorious in many battles these last 6 months. An enraged Nobel Peace Prize winner, Obama himself, was left to demand more arms for the rebels in Syria, including the game changer missiles like TOW and anti aircraft shoulder fired missiles of the Stinger type. Now Al-Qaeda has an open border between Syria and Iraq, allowing US weapons and money to flow freely between them. In the meantime, NATO member Turkey has set up many terrorist training camps for Jihadists on their soil along the Syrian border, where USA money and arms can flow into the rebels hands.
Now, how many ZH readers believe the US State Department and Pentagon are competent to represent our interests as Americans on the world stage? Fuck ups that they are. If you have been following the nazis in Kiev, whom America arms, trains and funds, you will see a disaster of epic proprotions. America's allies in West Ukraine and Kiev are complete fools and now proven war criminals. What's worse, is no self respecting Ukrainian soldier will go and kill their neighbors in east ukraine, Kiev is forced to reply totally on nazi and right sector thugs. So far, these thugs have accomplished nothing, but kill 275 civilians, and a few dozen Self Defense Fighters. This is that Nuland bitch at work! What has she done but cover herself in blood.
Iraq = fucking disaster
Ukraine = fucking disaster
Afghanistan = fucking opium disaster
Libya = complete disaster
Syria = complete blood soaked disaster
All this brought to you by Washington and the State department who claims the right to rule the earth. Good job you cunts. Nuland is a war criminal Israeli bitch.
So, you're saying "Mission Accomplished"?
No, he's saying BTFD!
I understand there is more Opium being grown in Afghanistan than ever before, since countries are now including drugs and hookers in their GDP wait for the massive GDP growth in Afghanistan, you would have to count that as a success?
Iraq deserves what it got. After all, 15 of the 9-11 hijackers were from Iraq. Of the remaining hijackers, 2 were from North Korea and the remaining 2 were from Iran and Venezuela. Plus I saw a chart that said Iraq had WMDs. WMDs scare me.
talkto lind please go away you filthy jew.
your lies do not cut it anymore.
911 was a mossad operation you mention being scared look closer to home for your bogey man you medicated fuck wit.
By Iraq, I think you mean Saudi Arabia.
Dudes, none of the hijackers were from North Korea, Venezuala, Iran or Iraq. I thought <sarc> tags weren't required on ZH. Even the NSA knows my previous comment was tongue-in-cheek.
Just goes to show the IQ levels must be in the single digits for some of this crowd. Maybe they are bots ? Don't even get <sarc> , jokes and fucking racist ..
Indeed. We must look to our allies in Saudi Arabia to counter the spread of Iranian and Iraq terror squads looking to repeat their 9/11 victory. Our Saudi allies are defenders of American freedom along with Israel.
Now taking orders for "I recaptured Tikrit and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" and "Honk if you love ISIS" bumper sticker.
It's the perfect setup. Now, the CIA can establish a direct pipeline of American military hardware from Iraq to Syria with plenty of top cover. The Syrian terrorists will now have access to Blackhawk and Kiowa helicopters as well as assorted small arms and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammo.
What are the Kurds doing about this?
Are they being left alone?
If they were sucessful at taking that much then they must be the division of Al Qaida that is Al CIA-DAH that we do support that Hilary told us about.
Wouldn't want to be the sentry guarding the helicopters when the Hellfire missiles start raining down.
I'd root for al qaeda if it wasn't a US ally.
They had to make a withdrawal of 400 million from Iraq as they needed the cash to buy weapons from the US in Syria in order to fight the US backed Government in Iraq.
Its important because then the US defense department can justify its budget to fight terrorism, after all look how many weapons the bad guys have got......I'm not even sure anymore when I say that who the bad guys actually are.
