LOL, this is a joke. hussein obama has been funding the ruthless sunni muslims for about seven years now, and ISIS fighters are sunnis. This is a drop in the bucket for ISIS as Turkey and Saudi Arabia is funding/supplying them anyway.



Jihadist couriers? Suspects nabbed at Johannesburg airport with $6M were ISIS-bound, say cops

JOHANNESBURG – Five men nabbed last month about to board a flight at South Africa's busiest airport with $6 million stuffed in bags may have made hundreds of such trips -- with inside help -- as part of a cash pipeline to fund the Islamic State, police sources said Monday.

The suspected couriers were caught at Johannesburg’s main airport, OR Tambo, on Aug. 28, but news the money was headed for the terror network only emerged late Sunday. A senior police officer told Fox News Monday the suspects are believed to have been headed for the ISIS caliphate in Syria and Iraq by way of Dubai, and that one may have made the same trek hundreds of times.

“It is very likely that the money was going to ISIS,” the police officer said. “We are investigating who these five carrying the money were, and there is one … we are particularly interested in, as records show he was flying to Dubai every two days for a year."

Interesting.

I wonder what the origins/destinations were?

Kind of hard to miss big piles of cash on the departure/arrival scanners.

But then again a few years ago there were silly amounts of cash and gold flying commercial from Kabul to Dubai despite the outgoing "security".

Corruption is so bloody corrosive.

And with a troubling economic long term future even the 1st world is vulnerable a la Serpico with a blended criminal/ideological bent.

One example is the infiltration of US Border Patrol by the cartels as covered in the media a few years ago.

Origin was South Africa and destination was ISBS. One of the mules flew the same route about every two-three days.

Haven't heard anything about this here yet. Maybe the local media is trying to figure out how to report it without upsetting the (large) local Muslim population. South Africa has long been rumoured to have AQ training camps etc.

There has also developed a sizable Somali and other East, West and Sub Saharan African refugee population who have been targeted by locals in recent times in vicious xenophobic attacks:
