Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) has expanded its business empire. Visitors to Mosul can now purchase trinkets of terrorism at ISIL’s new souvenir shop.

Photos taken from Arabic social media sites on July 26 revealed a shop filled not only with the standard tourist gear, such as ISIL flags, but with AK-47 rifles, bullets, sniper scopes and ammunition belts.

Islamic State jihadists took control of Mosul last summer. Though United States-led coalition air strikes have hit ISIL targets near Mosul, no Iraqi government or Shi’ite paramilitary ground forces have attempted to retake Iraq’s second-largest city.

T-shirts and tote bags in the souvenir shop are emblazoned with the ISIL symbol, which has become known worldwide thanks to the terror group’s social media savvy. Visitors can also buy “Jihadi John” hats and daggers.

Along with a plethora of firearms and firearm accessories, ISIL is also selling execution-style swords as seen in its videos of beheadings.
