Brutality has no end! The Islamic State is trying to sell all that is left of the decapitated corpse of journalist James Foley to his parents or the US Government for the sum of 1 million dollars.

An anonymous source, who is the mediator of the negotiations, mentions, according to The New York Post, that the terrorist organization makes this move as a sign of mercy towards the family who wants to bury the dead.

The jihadists, who have now occupied large parts of Iraq and Syria, killing, raping and capturing thousands of people, have an income for their military operations and atrocities, primarily through the sale of oil.

But after the dramatic fall in the price of crude oil, ISIS is looking for ways to save money.

“They try to ransom prisoners to relatives or governments, in order to not decapitate or rape them”, mentions an anonymous source and continues: “But now they are reaching the point of asking for money for beheaded and dismembered corpses”.

To become more credible, they offer a DNA sample to Foley’s parents to prove that these are his remains.
