Terror perks not what they used to be!

The Herald reports:

Faced with a cash shortage in its so-called caliphate, the group has slashed salaries across the region, asked Raqqa residents to pay utility bills in black market American dollars, and is now releasing detainees for a price of $500 a person.

The extremists once bragged about minting their own are having a hard time meeting expenses, thanks to coalition airstrikes and other measures that have eroded millions from their finances since last fall. Having built up loyalty among militants with good salaries and honeymoon and baby bonuses, the group has stopped providing even the smaller perks: free energy and Snickers bars.

No free Snickers bars? That's the last straw. I'm going home. is off.
