Isis Salary Cuts

Faced with a cash shortage in its so-called caliphate, ISIS has slashed salaries across the region, asked Raqqa residents to pay utility bills in black market American dollars, and is now releasing detainees for a price of $500 a person.

The ISIS terror group has been forced to cut its fighters' pay by up to 50 per cent because US-led air strikes have had a substantial impact on the money it makes from oil, a senior US official said today.
