Startling revelations: IS operative confesses to getting funds via US

“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.

It sounds like they are talking kurdish. So i think it is the ypg.

If Turkey is fighting ISIS, thats awesome and hope they don't suffer too much casualties. But they are fighting the Kurds who we are supporting while fighting ISIS. We all know that.

What you(US) dont know or dont want to know is that those Kurds of yours are doing the same if not worse then ISIS to the people of those liberated areas,i believe its called ''ethnic cleansing''.

 

[OguzSenturk]

Yeah, they are fuking stupid. They just showed that they didnt retreat to east of the river. Their stupidity shows the reason why they couldnt have a single state in 5.000 years of human civilisation. Video basicly gives;

> A reason for Turkey to intervene other parts of the YPG areas
> A proof about FSA fights against YPG, not imaginary Turkmans or Arabs
> A proof about they are not loyal to US orders anymore

Time to kill rabid dog

 

[T-123456]

Not hundreds of thousands of troops in Iraq during Gulf War 1 and 2 right?

Why not,a full scale attack would finish them in a month at most?
So what do you expect people to think,you dont want ISIS gone/defeated?
How long is this war been going on,for how many years?
If Obama had kept his words about crossing the so called ''Red Lines'',would there ever have been an ISIS to fight against?
Dont say ''we are fighting ISIS'' cause you arent really doing that.
Look at our army,a couple days and we gained so much ground,couldnt the US have done that as it did before?

I could have said the same why Russia and Iranians with Syria are taking so long to defeat ISIS have years involved.

The same answer as above.

Who does benefit from the unrest in Syria? We really had enough...

"Syrian groups backed by the West have been accused of driving people into the arms of Isil, executing prisoners and killing hundreds of people in recent inter-factional fighting.

The YPG, the Kurdish group being backed both by the United States to fight Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and by the Russians to fight US-supported anti-Assad rebels, is sending civilians into flight with its behaviour, according to a former US ambassador to the country, Robert Ford.


“In some cases, Syrian refugees flee it and don't go towards the Kurdish areas - they run away from them and into Islamic State territory,” Mr Ford told a Senate committee hearing.


He made the accusation at a time when both pro- and anti-regime forces in Syria are fragmenting under the pressure of the seemingly endless conflict."

"In the north, the fighting north of Aleppo between anti-Assad rebel groups, some of them supported by the United States, and the YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces has continued despite the ceasefire that has held in some other parts of the country.

The role of the SDF has become the most complex of all the international dilemmas facing the international community.

It was forged with western help to fight Isil. It is led by the YPG, but also contains some smaller Sunni Arab rebel groups and a Christian Syrian militia, and after recent gains has reached 20 miles from Raqqa, Isil’s capital.


However, the YPG has also been accused of human rights abuses. Amnesty International accused it in October of forcibly evicting Arabs and Turkmens from liberated areas and demolishing the houses, or even villages - claims it strongly denied.


Meanwhile, the YPG’s parent organisation, the PKK, which operates north of the border, has resumed its war against the Turkish state - a Nato ally of the US - and filmed itself shooting down a Turkish military helicopter last week.


In the north-west of Syria, the SDF and YPG are not getting support from the Americans but from the Russians, who see them as a useful ally in the fight against the non-Isil rebels, including Jabhat al-Nusra.


In one particularly gruesome consequence of the fighting, the YPG paraded a flat-bed lorry carrying 50 bodies of rebels killed in fighting through the streets of the Kurdish city of Afrin last month."

Heavies enroute to Syria.

I wanted to read the thread, but the amount of politics in it is too damn high!!

 

[GiannKall]

We helped capture their leader years ago.

That was back in 1999 when America hated communists more than islamists. The problem is that Americans are arrogant and think that they own the world. The same stupid things they do with Pakistan. They demand Pakistan to have a civil war in order to help Americans install a pro-Indian government in Kabul that will cause issues. And when they really do causing tens of thousands of deaths inside Pakistan, instead of saying thanks(!) to Pakistan they accuse them for their own failures in Afghanistan

I guess a massive ground and air operation coming...

The same answer as above.

You know that we had war back in Gulf War 2 and Obama wanted to pull American troops out. But with public opposition to troops on the ground he had to claim he was sending forces under the guise of training and not direct fighting even though massive evidence of SEALs, Delta and Special Forces are directly involved in the fight. And only air support for the Iraqis who were retreating at the beginning of the war when ISIS invaded Iraq from Syria. Russia and Iran could have send their massive armies since they haven't fought a war for a long time, so that means they don't really want to take on ISIS even though they've been involved for years now. We will see how Turkey does against ISIS and whether they can complete wipe it out in a few weeks.

In your assessment, how long you think Turkey wipe ISIS out?
