Islamic State could launch gas attacks beyond Syria: OPCW official
[REUTERS] 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.... snuffies returning from Syria could carry out mustard gas attacks after learning how to use the toxic substance in battle zones, a bigwig from the global chemical weapons watchdog warned on Wednesday. An inquiry by the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) concluded in October that Syrian government forces were responsible for chlorine gas attacks and that Islamic State snuffies had used mustard gas. "It seems that one of the dangers that we need to face and have a response for - since Islamic State has learnt how to make mustard gas - is that sadly one of the people who learnt how to do it comes back to one of our countries and helps carry out an attack like this," Philippe Denier, director at the verification division of the OPCW told a defense conference in Gay Paree.
