Truffles dipped in blood: Syrians risk lives in search for living
[NPASyria] Each year in February, hundreds of Syrians risk their lives in the vast Syrian Desert, which is rich in high-quality truffles. The late winter season is largely seen as an opportunity to earn a good income, due to the high prices paid for the desert delicacy, despite the threats of landmines and Islamic State
The IRGC assigned some truffle hunters, accompanied by six of its members, to guard the area. Liwa Fatemiyoun attacked the workers and killed them in retribution, and attributed the killings to ISIS.
...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) presence.

Syria’s desert truffles are sold at high prices. At the start of the season, a kilogram will go for $40, later dropping to $10, at its lowest.
