The Islamic State, which is considered to be the world’s richest
terrorist group, is starting to feel the squeeze on its two biggest sources of
revenue: black-market oil sales and stolen assets, according to the Pentagon.
Money from oil is down thanks to U.S.-led coalition
airstrikes, which have hit Islamic State-held oil refineries and fuel convoys.
But the U.S. military has not been able to wipe out the militant group’s oil
revenues completely, and the Pentagon acknowledged Friday that the group is
still making money in this area.
