Local sources in the countryside of Raqqa governorate, northeastern Syria, confirmed that the US army found a secret hideout of the terrorist organization “ISIS”, south of Raqqa, containing quantities of gold and money, the value of which was estimated at one million dollars.

The sources said that vehicles of the US army, with air cover from its warplanes and support from the militants of the “SDF “, raided the secret hideout of the organization in Kasra Faraj area on the southern outskirts of Raqqa, which is a house that includes 3 underground rooms.

They added that the cache contained four barrels filled with quantities of gold, in addition to funds estimated at about one million US dollars, and a group of weapons believed to be used by the organization in its offensive operations.

The sources indicated that the hideout is a house within a farm located in Kasra Faraj area on the southern outskirts of Raqqa, known as “Al-Baghdadi’s farm”, because Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, the former leader of the “ISIS” organization, was staying there during the organization’s control of the area.

The raid came after information to the Americans and the “SDF” about the existence of a secret hideout through the investigation of a number of former members and elements of the organization.
