Memo: Saudi Arabia in Charge of Stopping Money Flow to ISIS!
Another internal coalition document came in today from U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), in response to my earlier piece calling CENTCOM stupid. Certainly surprised me to learn that Saudi Arabia is co-chairing the multilateral Counter-ISIL Finance Group (CIFG) working group.
The Saudi co-chairmanship particularly struck me because of a recent slide from a presentation at the Special Operations Command North (SOCNORTH) conference last week in Colorado on transnational criminal organization (TCO) threats to the United States, Mexico and Canada.
