A captured Islamic State militant who spoke to Sputnik news
agency has bolstered claims that Turkey is involved in illegal oil deals
with the jihadist group up to the hilt.
24-year-old
Mahmud Ghazi Tatar says he joined Islamic State (IS, previously
ISIS/ISIL) from the Turkish city of Adiyaman. Together with other
recruits, he was transported over the border into Syria where he
received terrorist training.RT obtained interview footage with the captive from Sputnik news agency. In it, the former IS fighter reveals details about Turkey's alleged oil links to the terror group.
“At the training camp in May 2015, our commander told us that the group sells fuel to Turkey. That income covers Islamic State's costs. The oil trucks crossing into Turkey every day carry crude oil, as well as petrol,” Tatar said, adding that the Islamic group has “enough oil to last them a long time.”
