Startling Revelations: IS Operative Confesses To Getting Funds Via US

By Naveed Miraj

January 28, 2015 "ICH" - "Express Tribune" - ISLAMABAD: Yousaf al Salafi – allegedly the Pakistan commander of Islamic State (IS) or Daish – has confessed during investigations that he has been receiving funds through the United States.

Law enforcing agencies on January 22 claimed that they arrested al Salafi, along with his two companions, during a joint raid in Lahore. However, sources revealed that al Salafi was actually arrested sometimes in December last year and it was only disclosed on January 22.

“During the investigations, Yousaf al Salafi revealed that he was getting funding – routed through America – to run the organisation in Pakistan and recruit young people to fight in Syria,” a source privy to the investigations revealed to Daily Express on the condition of anonymity.

Al Salafi is a Pakistani-Syrian, who entered Pakistan through Turkey five months ago. Earlier, it was reported that he crossed into Turkey from Syria and was caught there. However, he managed to escape from Turkey and reached Pakistan to establish IS in the region.

Sources said al Salafi’s revelations were shared with the US Secretary of State John Kerry during his recent visit to Islamabad. “The matter was also taken up with CENTCOM chief General Lloyd Austin during his visit to Islamabad earlier this month,” a source said.

Al Salafi also confessed that he – along with a Pakistani accomplice, reportedly imam of a mosque – was recruiting people to send them to Syria and was getting around $600 per person from Syria.

“The US has been condemning the IS activities but unfortunately has not been able to stop funding of these organisations, which is being routed through the US,” a source said.

“The US had to dispel the impression that it is financing the group for its own interests and that is why it launched offensive against the organisation in Iraq but not in Syria,” he added.

There are reports that citizens from Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India besides other countries are being recruited by the IS to fight in Syria. Posters and wall chalking in favour of the IS have also been seen in various cities in Pakistan.

More than 150 IS militants killed around Kirkuk, coalition airstrikes have turned them into headless chicken. Tens of bodies left by IS and all the areas which they entered they were eventually forced to retreat from. Sources in hawija confirm dozens of IS dead and injured flooding in.

Today over 350 members and injured on the northern fronts. Another black day for IS after their defeat in Diyala and Ain Al Arab/ Kobani.

It seems they were dreaming of making up for their looses but it only made it worse.

A large military operation is being planned by the PMF and Peshmerga against hawija, IS's bastion in Kirkuk province. Another Diyala in the making soon inshallah.

ISIS seizes oil facility in north Iraq, 15 workers missing | News , Middle East | THE DAILY STAR
KIRKUK, Iraq: ISIS insurgents seized a small crude oil station near the northern Iraqi cityKirkuk where 15 employees were working, security and oil officials said on Saturday.

Two officials from the state-run North Oil Co confirmed the militants seized a crude oil separation unit in Khabbaz and said 15 oil workers were missing after the company lost contact with them.

"We received a call from one of the workers saying dozens of [ISIS] fighters were surrounding the facility and asking workers to leave the premises. We lost contact and now the workers might be taken hostage," an engineer from the North Oil Co told Reuters.

The radical jihadi movement seized at least four small oilfields when it overran large areas of northern Iraq last summer, and began selling crude oil and gasoline to finance their operations.

ISIS insurgents attacked regional Kurdish forces southwest of Kirkuk on Friday, seizing some areas including parts of the Khabbaz oilfields.

Kurdish peshmerga forces sought to push back ISIS in further fighting near Khabbaz on Saturday, Kurdish military sources said.

Khabbaz is a small oilfield 20 km (12 miles) southwest of Kirkuk with a maximum production capacity of 15,000 barrels per day. It was producing around 10,000 bpd before the attack.

Islamic State has declared a medieval-style caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria to rule over all Muslims, and it poses the biggest challenge to the stability of OPEC member Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003.

in the end ISIS lost many more men, just lying there like dead rats, lots of graphic pics and just a village or two left to be retaken.

However I belive we lost more Peshmergas than the report claims.

and Peshmerga has now launched a big counter offensive

even the ones who lead the offensive led under the midget kurdish cleric from hewler(erbil) promising to "liberate Kirkuk and Hewler" ended up with a body without head.

New Russia deal on the way for Sukhois, not mentioned which. Possibly ground attack such as SU-25 or SU-24 fencer

@Alshawi1234 what is your opinion about SU-24 attack/strike aircraft ? they're quite capable in ground attack though different than the CAS Su-25, Russia is currently phasing out Su-24's for their new su-34.

I began to suspect that half of Peshmerga fighters have rank Colonel or General.
