#6 > Chlorine is banned by the Geneva Convention, isn't it?

The Geneva Convention ONLY applies to the US. Ask anyone from the UN or EU.

#7 What the story does NOT tell you is that both trucks were fired on and exploded BEFORE they reached their target.

#9 Perhaps a bit more security around chlorine treatment facilities would be nice. Perhaps even something as simple as a GPS receiver that disables the truck if it strays from a set route without approval. Also, they could be getting it from other sources in the area . . . .
