ISIS harvesting victims' organs for cash?

Up to this point, ISIS has contented itself with targeted terrorist activities, "lone wolf" operations, and, of course, the mass murder of anyone who stands in their way. "Whatever ideology they're operating off of," it's clear that they have no problem with wholesale slaughter. However, that's just so wasteful.
ISIS likes money and, according to the Iraqi ambassador to the UN, they've apparently realized that they've been ignoring an important potential revenue stream. As the L.A. Times reports, they may have started harvesting their victims' organs ...for cash. Oh, and if you're a doctor who won't provide the necessary services, you're head goes on the chopping block as well.
Iraq's ambassador to the United Nations asked the U.N. Security Council on Tuesday to look into allegations that the Islamic State group is using organ harvesting as a way to finance its operations. Ambassador Mohamed Alhakim told reporters that in the last few weeks, bodies with surgical incisions and missing kidneys or other body parts have been found in shallow mass graves. "We have bodies. Come and examine them," he said. "It is clear they are missing certain parts."
He also said a dozen doctors have been "executed" in Mosul for refusing to participate in organ harvesting. The organs are allegedly being shipped out of the region and sold on the black market. So far, proof is hard to come by and the US government has been unable to corroborate the claims. However, it sounds like they wouldn't be terribly surprised to find out the accusations were true.
The U.S. State Department said it was aware of the "deeply disturbing comments" about the alleged organ trafficking but wasn't able to confirm them. "We also have no reason to doubt them given other similar atrocities that have been documented and other heinous crimes for which ISIL has proudly taken credit," the State Department said, using another acronym for the militant group. Alhakim said there is a market in Europe for the stolen organs. The terror group has taken over airports where the body parts could be flown out in deals arranged between middlemen and buyers, he said. The mutilated bodies have been found in shallow graves over the last several weeks, he said.
Clearly, since we're not in a war, these people just need jobs.
