Iraqi chlorine in Islamists' hands
[ARA] Militant fighters of the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... seized large quantities of chlorine gas following attacks against major water facility in the province of Nineveh, northern Iraq, official sources reported. IS Death Eaters controlled the chemical agent from the provincial water department and transferred otto a hideout in Nineveh, Iraqi local media quoted officials as saying. The radical group is reportedly manufacturing rockets filled with chemical agents for use in operations against the Kurdish Peshmerga forces and Iraqi army. "The Kurdish Peshmerga and other Iraqi forces should be cautious during the battles against the IS. The radical group could use the chemical agents at any moment, especially in the current phase as the group is losing ground and its power is apparently dramatically decreasing," Kurdish politician Khelil Hama told ARA News in Erbil.
