ISIL Trading Human Body Organs in Iraq

(FNA)- The ISIL terrorist group is trafficking and selling the body parts of those killed in the battlefield in return for high prices at a hospital in Mosul, Iraq, to overcome its growing financial problems.

"The ISIL is engaged in a huge body organs trade in the city of Mosul," Saeed Memozini, a member of Iraqi Kurdistan's Democrat Party, told reporters on Monday.

He noted that the ISIL has turned a palace of executed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein into a special hospital for buying and selling human body parts.

Memozini said that the Takfiri terrorists purchase body organs at very cheap prices and sell them at very high prices to make a lot of money.

He stressed that he has compelling evidence which shows that the ISIL is smuggling body organs to other countries, but he declined to disclose the names of those countries.

In February, sources said that ISIL seeks to deliver the bodies of Kurdish fighters killed in battles in exchange for cash “ranging between 10 thousand and 20 thousand dollars per body.

The German paper said “it is unlikely” that ISIL be able to take advantage of these bodies through trading organs, for not having the medical technology and expertise required for this task.

The newspaper added that ISIL Takfiri group has cut its fighters’ salaries by two-thirds, and is no longer able to sell the oil barrel for “more than ten to twenty dollars.”

The ISIL Takfiri terrorists currently control shrinking swathes of Syria and Iraq. They have threatened all communities, including Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Ezadi Kurds and others, as they continue their atrocities in Iraq.

Senior Iraqi officials have blamed Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and some Persian Gulf Arab states for the growing terrorism in their country.

The ISIL has links with Saudi intelligence and is believed to be indirectly supported by the Israeli regime.
