ISIS have seized control of a 5-star hotel in Iraq and moved in, adopting a slightly different business model than the previous owners had.
The Ninawa International Hotel in Mosul, Iraq has been renovated by the terrorist organisation, and photographs released on Twitter reveal the new hotel will be open for IS commanders and jihadi brides exclusively.

The 262-room hotel was once voted as one of the best places to stay in Iraq, and boasted amenities like ballrooms, restaurants, a pool, and tennis courts.
