On November 11, 2005, the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), an organization that includes al-Qaeda and other militant groups, announced that it had taken over Mosul. Since that time, the ISI has been extorting money from the local community. Contractor Ahmad al-Taei gave terrorists most of his wealth in exchange for his two kidnapped children, he told a local newspaper.
?Since 2005, the ISI al-Qaeda organization has allowed us to work. But only on the condition that they get a percentage of each project?s budget,? one contractor was quoted as saying.
