[Nigerian Tribune] With an estimated sum of $70 million, Boko Haram... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...
has been ranked the seventh wealthiest terrorist organization in the world.
According to a report published by The Richest, the sum of $70 million was made by the group between 2006 and 2011 from their numerous kidnappings and the subsequent ransoms procured.
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), a Jihadist Death Eater group, is adjudged the richest terrorist group till date, with an estimated sum of $2 billion, gathered from looted weapons and bank robberies.
The second richest terrorist group is Irish Republican Army (IRA), a prominent professional money laundering organization in Europe with over $450 million.
The third richest, the Taliban of Afghanistan rakes in an estimated sum of $400 million, annually from expansive drug trade, human trafficking, extortion, as well as a large amount of donations from foreign organizations that support their ill-gotten empire.
Al-Qaeda, which is the fourth richest, is one of the largest and deadliest terrorist groups, founded by the late Osama bin Laden
... who is now beyond all cares and woe...
. The group realises over $100million in a year.
The Marxist guerrilla group, Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia-People's Army (FARC), known for numerous kidnappings, liquidations and bombings, which they have executed on Columbian citizens, in the name of anti-imperialism rakes in an estimated sum of $80-$350 million, every year is the fifth richest.
Just ahead Boko Haram is Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the
Army of the Pure,an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is
banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
from Pakistain, renowned for wreaking havoc, raging war and killing civilians, with $100 million a year.
