Saudis Trafficking Drugs To Isis

[Gromit]

A large consignment of an amphetamine drug widely used by ISIS fighters has been intercepted at Beirut Airport. Two Tonnes of Captagen were being loaded onto a jet own by Saudi Prince Abdel Mohsen Bin Walid Bin Abdulaziz.

// Lebanese authorities have charged a Saudi prince and nine other people with drug trafficking, a week after they were arrested in the largest ever drug seizure at Beirut's airport.

Saudi prince Abdel Mohsen Bin Walid Bin Abdulaziz and four other Saudis were arrested at the airport on October 27 after nearly two tonnes of Captagon capsules and cocaine were found waiting to be loaded onto their private jet.

The banned drug has reportedly been widely used by combatants in Syria to help them keep fighting, often on night missions or during gruelling battles. //

I would have linked to the report in the Daily Mail, but they somehow failed to mention the ISIS connection.

It'll be interesting when he goes on trial, if he does.

Yet more evidence that ISIL ( or ISIS ) is being ably assisted by some in the Arab world.

The mail ran this in January 2015 and catalogued the use of drugs by the 'Isis fighters' whilst reportedly whipping non Isis members for being drug addicts.
At least we now have an idea of who is supplying the drugs.
