Can ISIS Fund from Oil Smuggling

ISIS send crude oil from oil fields Najma in Mosul, Iraq, to Syria, to smuggle it into one of the neighboring countries of Syria.

The militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), or which now calls itself the Islamic State only just, seized four small oil fields when they penetrated northern Iraq last month.

Now, they are selling crude oil and gas produced to fund what they declare as their new "caliphate."

Near the city of Mosul, ISIS has taken over the oil fields and Qayara Najma, while further south near Tikrit, the group stormed the fields Himreen and Ajil in the attack two days through northern Iraq in mid-June.

Oil fields in the hands of ISIS small compared to the giant fields near Kirkuk and Basra, which is under the control of the central government and the autonomous Kurdish government. Most oil wells are controlled by ISIS, estimated by a Kurdish officer reaches 80 pieces, sealed and pumped.

However, a monopoly over fuel in the occupied territories makes ISIS has an influence on the armed Sunni factions that could threaten the dominance of the other in northern Iraq.

Iraqi officials said that in recent weeks the group has sent oil from Qayara to be processed by a refinery in Syria moving into low quality fuel, then brought back to be sold to Mosul, a city of two million people.

Greater delivery of crude oil, some of which are of Najma, also sold through the smugglers to traders Turkey with discounted prices around $ 25 per barrel.

"We have confirmed reports that indicate that ISIS send crude oil from oil fields in Mosul Najma to Syria to smuggle it into one of the neighboring countries of Syria," al-Brefkani ujarHusham, head of the energy committee of the provincial council of Mosul.

"The Islamic State gain millions of dollars from the illegal trade."

Gas station in Mosul now selling the fuel supplied in collaboration with ISIS sellers, which sell for $ 1 or $ 1.5 per liter depending on the quality - a big increase from previous prices.

"The fuel is brought from Syria ... They cost three times more than before, but the riders have to buy it because of a government fuel subsidy on hold," said one gas station owners.

Brefkani say ISIS is the sole sponsor for imports from Syria, where the group also controls the oil fields in the province of Deir al-Zor.

"They use it mostly for their vehicles and sell the rest to the merchant in Mosul." (Reuters / VOA)
