ICC Note: Reaching a new level of barbarism, ISIS is now reportedly gathering children to sell to organ traffickers in Turkey. This is the militant group’s attempt at funding operations in Mosul after it has suffered financial loss in its oil fields. This information comes only days after ISIS reportedly stole organs from 23 of its own injured soldiers and sold then intestines, kidneys and other parts to organ traffickers.

09/22/2016 Iraq/Turkey (Christian Post): The Islamic State terrorist organization in Iraq is now selling kidnapped children to organ traffickers in Turkey in order to overcome its financial shortfalls.

A local source in Iraq told Iraqi News that the heinous and barbaric militant organization, which rose to power in 2014 and took over large swaths of territory in northern Iraq and Syria, has sold scores of young children to Turkish organ traffickers in order to fund operations in its largest Iraqi stronghold of Mosul.

“ISIS have kidnapped dozens of children and sold them to the Turkish organ traffickers to finance their budget in Mosul,” the source, who chose to remain anonymous, was quoted as saying.

The source said there are more than 30 children aged 9 to 12 who are being held by IS (also known as ISIS or ISIL) and “readied for being trafficked to Turkey.”

The Iraqi News report comes a day after the news site reported that IS stole approximately 23 human organs from its own members and those who were injured in the hospitals of Nineveh so they could be sold.

“Special medical unit of the organization proceeded to steal human organs for about 23 ISIS militants of those who slept in the hospitals of Nineveh,” a local source told Iraqi News.

The anonymous source reportedly said that the militants stole kidneys, intestines and other internal body parts from their victims.

“They were transferred under tight control to affiliated hospital on the outskirts of the city,” the source added.

According to the source, IS’ organ trafficking comes as the group has lost much of its revenue sources, such as oil fields.
