ISIS Is Trying To Sell The Body Of U.S. Hostage James Foley For $1 Million

ANTAKYA, Turkey — Middlemen with ties to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have turned to a grim new method of trying to secure funds in recent days. With the group having failed to strike deals to ransom the U.S. hostages in its custody — instead beheading three of them since July — its intermediaries are now trying to negotiate the sale of the body of at least one of the men it killed.

Three sources in contact with ISIS or its associates told BuzzFeed News that it wants to sell the remains of James Foley, the U.S. journalist whose August death was the first in a series of high-profile executions of Western hostages by ISIS hands.

They said ISIS wants $1 million for Foley’s body, which it would deliver across the border to Turkey, and that the group was willing to provide a DNA sample to facilitate a deal.

If true, the attempted sale would highlight the ruthlessness behind the hostage-taking enterprise that has provided ISIS with deep reservoirs of funds and publicity — as well as the group’s cold calculation as it works to raise more cash.

1. bastards

2. They sound like a corporation trying to make money. Are they selling stock yet?

Someone somewhere is raking in the dough.

3. Hopefully they accept payment in denominations of Hellfire missiles.

They cost about $100k each, so it'll be just ten easy payments right on their fucking heads.

8. I wonder how many innocent kids we will burn up along with them? That's our real investment,

the enemies we make for our kids.

11. You're right, of course.

But the other options are pretty shitty.

We could send in ground troops to kill these pieces of shit, but that still carries civilian casualties. And it's not like military casualties don't harm innocent people - the soldiers have families.

Or we could do nothing, and the ISIS fucks would kill innocent people.

She even went to the WH and told the guy, but he follows the strategy of his long-time bankster friends and ignores her. Par for the course, bad for our future..

We have to have guns now too, of course, but by not making that other part as important, and continuing to do things as we have in the past, we insure the future will be a continuation of what has gone on before.

13. His poor family!

As if they've not suffered enough. I do hope that they have some comfort knowing that the person they loved (i.e., James Foley) cannot be harmed any more, but I cannot imagine the pain they must have endured.

15. Amen to that.....

Totally agree.
