Want to Go to School in ISIS Territory? It'll Cost You

ISIS has announced monthly taxes on students attending schools and colleges in Iraq's second-largest city, parents and a security official said Wednesday. Iraqi government schools have been state-funded since 1974. But, according to a mother of three and another father-of-three told NBC News, parents in Mosul — which ISIS militants now control — have been told they must pay 25,000 Iraqi dinars (about $21) for every child attending kindergarten, 50,000 dinars ($42) for high-school students and 75,000 dinars ($62.50) for college undergraduates. A senior Iraqi security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, also confirmed the taxes had been introduced. http://nbcnews.to/1qXftvT http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

This is a treat."     Related articles Rare saber-...
