By: Barbara Starr

On Sunday the United States bombed central Mosul, Iraq. A building that was destroyed contained a large amount of money that was used by ISIS for operations and payment towards troops. It is unknown how much money was destroyed but the United States plan to target more money sites to take down ISIS's abilities.
