Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper on Sunday quoted security sources as saying that the ISIL is offering to sell dead bodies in a bid to create a new source of income to overcome its financial woes.
The ISIL terrorists are ready to deliver the dead bodies in exchange for cash "ranging between 10,000-20,000 dollars for each body," the paper said.
The financial situation has forced the ISIL to cut its payroll by two-thirds, the newspaper added.
The ISIL terrorists have been active in smuggling oil from Iraq and selling Iraqi women as slaves.
Last month, Iraqi Minister of Human Rights Mohammed Mahdi Ameen al-Bayati said the ISIL terrorists have sold more than 5,000 women and girls from Iraq’s Izadi Kurdish minority in their slave markets.
Global rights organizations have also reported about Izadi women and girls being forced into slavery by the ISIL terrorists, saying each girl is sold for only 200 US dollars.
The British Daily Telegraph reported in July 2014 that the ISIL Takfiris raise as much as USD 1 million a day from the sale of crude oil recovered from the oil reservoirs south of the city of Mosul and smuggled to countries like Turkey.
According the Frankfurter Allgemeine, the attacks on the terrorists have destroyed much of the oil infrastructure they used for oil smuggling and due to the fall in oil prices on the world market, the terrorists are no longer able to sell a barrel for "more than 10 to 20 dollars.”
Last week Iraq’s Ambassador to the UN Mohamed Ali Alhakim said the Iraqi government has found evidence of possible organ trafficking by the ISIL terrorists in mass graves containing 10 to 20 bodies each. The bodies had incisions on their backs, according to the ambassador.
ISIL started its campaign of terror in Iraq in early June 2014. The heavily-armed terrorists took control of the country’s northern city of Mosul before sweeping through parts of the country’s Sunni Arab heartland.
Iraqi soldiers, police units, Kurdish forces, Shia volunteers and Sunni tribesmen have succeeded in driving the ISIL terrorists out of some areas in Iraq.
