Islamic State militants have allegedly been trying to sell the remains of James Foley, the US journalist beheaded by the radical Sunni group in August, for $1 million, the International Business Times AU reports.
The group is offering to provide a DNA sample to confirm the body’s authenticity. They are willing to make the exchange with those interested in Turkey on a precondition that the money will be transferred before the deal.
“They ask for $1 million, and they will send DNA to Turkey, but they want the money first,” an anonymous source said, as quoted by the New York Post. “They will not give the DNA without the money,” the source, who wants to be a middleman in the deal, said, according to BuzzFeed, the outlet that broke the story.
The source said he was approached by one of the leaders of the Islamic State, who asked him to find a way to communicate the offer to either the US government or Foley’s family. Hmmm.....I'm Sure Islamist Turkey will provide the neccesary transport if needed.Read the full story here.
