>> isis has done a lot of damage all over iraq and syria. they have destroyed many large archeological sites. questions have been raised as to whether or not they are in some cases trying to make it look like they are destroying more than they are. while actually some of what they're doing is looting antiquities and succeeding as far as they have. they have a huge economy. they've taken great pains to make sure they have money taking it from banks and operating in all sorts of different major economies. that's why it was seen as a valuable target wendell that force commandos went into syria and killed one isis leader this past weekend. he was not the top leader the self practice claimed caliphate or perceived to be an important leader. he was basically their money guy, their treasury secretary, their cfo. he was the guy organizing a lot of their income particularly from the oil sector. less than a week after isis seized control of ramadi in iraq's anbar province, isis has taken palmyra to help us understand the importance of this richard engel, it's nice to see you. thanks, for being here. >> it's nice to be here. >> palmyra.
