ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Iraqi intelligence forces recently captured a "financing cell" of the Islamic State in an operation conducted inside Syrian territory, sources said on Friday.

A security source told Kurdistan 24 that the group was composed of 13 members serving as the "largest financing group for the terrorist organization." The source added that 11 of those captured are French citizens of Arab descent, one is ethnically French, and the last is from an unspecified Arab country and a resident of France.

The arrests come at a time when Iraqi authorities are cracking down on entities and offices suspected to be financing the jihadist group. Iraqi media also reported that the operation is the largest of its kind so far carried out, coming after the group was accused of financing the terrorist organization in more than one country.
