The ISIL finance-combat task group, presided over by each of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United States of America and Italy, held at the headquarters of the U.S. Treasury Department in Washington D.C. its 3rd meeting today. At the outset of the two-day meeting, the Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Treasury Sarah Bloom Raskin welcomed the 22 delegations, representing central banks, finance ministries, finance intelligence units, ministries of foreign affairs and four multi-lateral organizations. The meeting held discussions on the understanding of the world community about the financial infrastructure of ISIL, exchange of intelligence information about the issue and other things. During the meeting, four branch groups in charge of forming new platforms for the members of the coalition to cooperate about special aspects to combat the finance of ISIL were formed. The groups will study how money illegally pours towards the terror organization across the border, through oil trafficking, robbing and selling of antiquities and other financial links with the organization's members. The first meeting was held in Rome in March 2015, the second in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in May. The task group was established in January 2015, as part of the international coalition against ISIL. -- SPA 21:48 LOCAL TIME 18:48 GMT تغريد
