SIS Ransoms - Being an Islamic State or Iraq and Syria actually pays well, when you count the money the terrorising grip makes in terms of the ransoms they get annually.
Being a terrorist takes a lot of guts; hence, it is not surprising that the ISIS group has been earning much too much through their kidnapping for ransom scheme, reports Fox News.
Terrorist-monitoring expert, Yotsna Lalji, recently revealed that ISIS ransoms in the past year has amounted to $45 million - a whopping sum for just one year of terrorising business.
However, while ISIS' ransoms are remarkably high, this is actually not something new when it comes to the money terrorists get for kidnapping people.
Lalji noted that between 2004 and 2012, militants generated as much as $120 million from kidnapping ransoms alone.
"[It's] the core al Qaeda tactic for generating revenue," Lalji quipped before adding that despite the threat they impose against civilians, terrorists still maintain that wealth by abutting more and more people, reports The Daily Beast.
However, there are still countries that refuse to pay ISIS ransoms or terrorist ransoms despite the urgency to do so.
For the most part, ISIS earned a lot from kidnapping random people, so they can ask their captive's respective countries for big ransoms.
For countries', who have turned a deaf ear towards their captive citizens, ISIS responds to them with a beheading or any tragic tale before finally killing the target.
According to Laiji, in other parts of the world, terrorising a neighbourhood has shown to b very effective, Medialite has learned.
The analysts noted that al-Qaeda has earned more than what ISIS ransoms have provided the extremist group with.
