SDF arrests alleged ISIS financier in Raqqa
[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Sunday announced that they had arrested a financier in the former Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) capital of Raqqa, who confessed to funding the terrorist organization in a video.

The arrestee, named Mohammed Ahmed Kurz, hails from the city of al-Bab in northern Syria. He says he was coerced under threat to supply ISIS with funds, usually sent from nearby The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
and the rebel-held Syrian province of Idlib.

"I started working with Ibrahim [Kurz's associate] in Raqqa in 2021. He tasked me with receiving cheques from Idlib and Turkey and distributing them to ISIS cells in al-Hol camp," said Kurz.

Around 56,000 people live in the notorious al-Hol camp in Hasaka, northeast Syria (Rojava), the majority of whom are women and kiddies accused of being affiliated with ISIS.

He mentioned that Ibrahim would smuggle explosives from the aforementioned areas and use them to threaten large merchants in Raqqa to supply ISIS for money.

"Ibrahim had planted a bomb under the building in which I resided, and this was one of the bombs he threatened merchants with to fund ISIS," he added.

However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
the SDF claims that Kurz himself led a blackmailing ring in Raqqa, forcing people to finance ISIS cells. The Kurdish-led force says that Kurz was arrested as he received an bomb that was to be detonated in front of a shop in the city.
