I'm hearing that the ISIS thugs stole 400+ million dollars from the bank in Mosul.
That can buy a whole bunch of milk and honey....I don't know the price of 72 virgins so that is anyone's guess.
But imagine that.
400+ million dollars in the hands of terrorists. Even if they divide it all between the 800 fighters that's a real nice payday. Inside a civil war we just saw the biggest theft in modern history..

The Islamic State of Iraq and al-Shams (Isis) has become the richest terror group ever after looting 500 billion Iraqi dinars - the equivalent of $429m (£256m) - from Mosul's central bank, according to the regional governor.Yep. Read it and weep!
Nineveh governor Atheel al-Nujaifi confirmed Kurdish televison reports that Isis militants had stolen millions from numerous banks across Mosul. A large quantity of gold bullion is also believed to have been stolen.
Following the siege of the country's second city, the bounty collected by the group has left it richer than al-Qaeda itself and as wealthy as small nations such as Tonga, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands and the Falkland Islands.
