2015-03-16
[IraqiNews.com] The ISIS organization put some monuments seized in Iraq and Syria for sale on eBay.

BBC quoted reports by the British newspaper 'The Times' that ISIS seeks to earn money by selling monuments it seized on eBay.

The newspaper added that jewelry and pieces of metal and porcelain seized by ISIS made their way to buyers in the Gulf, indicating that the sales process is often done through the internet.

The newspaper stressed that the trade has become highly lucrative for the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....

Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) have been looted by ISIS myrmidons. The quantity of monuments were put up for sale have caused a decline in the price of some sectors in the market.
