15 ISIS Terrorists Injured in Chlorine Bomb Explosion During Launch
At
least 15 Islamic State (Isis) fighters were injured after an explosive
device containing chlorine detonated during the launch by the terror
group, a US-based Arabic-language news channel reported.
Alhurra
reported that several Isis fighters were being treated for chlorine
poisoning after the bomb packed with poisonous chemical detonated during
the launch north of Mosul.
The report noted that the Sunni terror
group was firing shells packed with chlorine on Kurdish Peshmerga
soldiers near Kherbana village when one of those exploded.
A
recent WSJ report, citing intelligence agencies, confirmed that the Isis
had used chlorine in several attacks in Iraq. Last week, US officials
confirmed to NBC News that the Isis has used chemical weapons in Iraq
against Peshmerga fighters.
Mustard gas, which was widely put to use during the First World War, can cause blisters, blindness and respiratory problems.
In
July, an independent investigation by two organisations had confirmed
that the Sunni terror group was using improvised chemical weapons
against civilians and Kurdish militia groups in Syria and Iraq.
It was reported that the missiles filled with deadly chemicals such as chlorine were also fired at Kurdish forces.
