Deutsche Welle: IS losing oil fields, income, says Germany's BND
The "Islamic State" terror militia has lost control of oil fields it seized last year in Iraq, depriving it of crucial income. That's according to multiple reports in Germany citing Germany's BND intelligence agency.
Munich's Süddeutsche (SZ) newspaper and two German public broadcasters NDR and WDR jointly reported Thursday that the BND had concluded that the IS had hardly any Iraqi oil to sell for cash or to even sustain supplies within its self-declared Caliphate.
They said a special report submitted to the German government attributed the reversal to counter-offensives in northern Iraq - by Kurdish Peshmerga fighters and the retaking of Tikrit city by Iraqi security forces and militias last week.
