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.

2. Predictable. Irish-Americans were a primary

source of funds for the IRA. Ex-pats who achieve financial success in the US are always going to be hit up for funds by people back home.

3. Now, put this together with the Penny Lane revelations (US recruiting AQ at Gitmo

and sending them back out into the wild), the statement by one of the Paris shooters that al-Awlaki paid for his training in Yemen, and you have the explanation for a number of apparently intractable problems with counter-terrorism. Double the agents, double the troubles.

4. That is simply not possible. The United States would never support such a group.

Sorry, I couldn't hold it in any longer

5. We can't accept this confession unless we can verify it resulted from torture.

If he confessed this under torture, then we can buhlieve it!

Zelikow admits that "quite a bit, if not most" of its information on the 9/11 conspiracy "did come from the interrogations."
