A large cache of drugs belonging to the terrorist group ISIS was destroyed by the U.S.-led international coalition on June 12 in southern Syria.
The Pentagon said in a June 18 report that the drugs had an estimated $1.4 million value on the black market, and included more than 300,000 pills of captagon, an addictive amphetamine that is heavily used by ISIS members.
