ISIL's $2bn network revealed

The Guardian reported the seizure of 160 computer flash sticks which contained the most detailed information yet known about ISIL, the group of militants that now controls Iraq's second city. 

The treasure trove included names of all foreign fighters, senior leaders and their code words, initials of sources inside ministries and full accounts of the group's finances which allegedly amount to $2bn.
