ISIS/ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) is a composition of militias formerly aligned with Al-Qaeda, and which had operated under different names prior, including Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad. The organization was founded in 2000 by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who allegedly had ties to Iraqi intelligence prior to the invasion of Iraq, although this is also denied. It is a non-state entity, although it is alleged to receive funding from governments in the Middle East.
