Will this revelation slow down the flow of money and […]

She had no “terrorist ambition,” you see. She just wanted to get $25,000 to the Islamic State by hiding it in her friend’s panties. The Islamic State wasn’t then what it is now, you see.

UPDATE: The U.S. has finally cut ties with the FSA. There is still no indication that U.S. officials know how to tell a “moderate” from an “extremist,” however. “Those who do not own a weapon cannot join and many said that Dwekh Nawsha would have 250 men if only they had the needed firepower.” But […]
