Reports indicate that targeting ISIS’ finances remains a key part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the name of the Combined Joint Task Force’s mission to eliminate the terrorist group.
The building in Mosul was holding ISIS cash worth millions of Dollars when it was destroyed by two 2,000-pound bombs, according to CNN which cited an unnamed US defense official.
ISIS is known to finance its operations through oil smuggling, racketeering, kidnapping, and taxing those residing inside its caliphate in Syria and Iraq.
In 2015, Iraq’s finance minister accused ISIS militants of looting nearly half a billion dollars from banks in Mosul, Tikrit, and Baiji, Reuters reports.
