Startling revelations: IS operative confesses to getting funds via US – The Express Tribune
全文（英語）
ISLAMABAD: Yousaf al Salafi – allegedly the Pakistan commander of Islamic State (IS) or Daish – has confessed during investigations that he has been receiving funds through the United States.
Law enforcing agencies on January 22 claimed that they arrested al Salafi, along with his two companions, during a joint raid in Lahore. However, sources revealed that al Salafi was actually arrested sometimes in December last year and it was only disclosed on January 22.
“During the investigations, Yousaf al Salafi revealed that he was getting funding – routed through America – to run the organisation in Pakistan and recruit young people to fight in Syria,” a source privy to the investigations revealed to Daily Express on the condition of anonymity.
Al Salafi is a Pakistani-Syrian, who entered Pakistan through Turkey five months ago. Earlier, it was reported that he crossed into Turkey from Syria and was caught there. However, he managed to escape from Turkey and reached Pakistan to establish IS in the region.
Sources said al Salafi’s revelations were shared with the US Secretary of State John Kerry during his recent visit to Islamabad. “The matter was also taken up with CENTCOM chief General Lloyd Austin during his visit to Islamabad earlier this month,” a source said.
Al Salafi also confessed that he – along with a Pakistani accomplice, reportedly imam of a mosque – was recruiting people to send them to Syria and was getting around $600 per person from Syria.
“The US has been condemning the IS activities but unfortunately has not been able to stop funding of these organisations, which is being routed through the US,” a source said.
“The US had to dispel the impression that it is financing the group for its own interests and that is why it launched offensive against the organisation in Iraq but not in Syria,” he added.
There are reports that citizens from Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India besides other countries are being recruited by the IS to fight in Syria. Posters and wall chalking in favour of the IS have also been seen in various cities in Pakistan.
内容を簡単に書くと
「イスラム国のパキスタン司令官ユースフ・アル・サラフィーをパキスタン当局が逮捕した。
その取り調べでユースフ・アル・サラフィーが「アメリカを通じて資金を受けていた」と告白してると捜査関係者が匿名で教えてくれた。
その内容は最近パキスタンを訪問したジョンケリー国務長官にも共有され、ロイド・オースティンアメリカ中央軍司令官にも伝わった。」
って内容です。
ちなみにソース元の「Tribune」っていう新聞社ですが、wikiを見る限りパキスタンでは大手新聞社のようです。
なんかTVドラマ「24」みたいな展開になってきましたね笑
日本のメディアは取り上げなさそうなネタですね。
