Turkish security forces have confiscated two kilograms of the nerve agent sarin after raiding the homes of militants from the terrorist al-Nusra Front fighting against Syria, Turkey's media report.

Turkish Forces Confiscate Nerve Agent with Al-Nusra Terrorists Several Turkish newspapers reported on Thursday that two kilograms of sarin gas as well as heavy weapons were discovered during raids on the homes of 12 members of the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front in Turkey's southern city of Adana, located some 150 kilometers (93 miles) from the border with Syria. Sarin has been classified as a weapon of mass destruction in UN Resolution 687.
The terrorists, who were allegedly planning a large attack in the city, were formally detained on the order of Adana's top court, Turkish media reported without clarifying their charges.

The incident took place weeks after two car bomb attacks killed 52 people and injured over a hundred others in the border town of Reyhanli in Turkey's southern province of Hatay on May 11. Turkish protesters blamed Ankara for the attacks due to its support for the armed groups inside Syria.

Turkish Forces Confiscate Nerve Agent with Al-Nusra Terrorists On May 5, the UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on Syria also said it found testimony from victims and medical staff that showed foreign-backed militants had used the nerve agent in Syria.

The Syrian government says Ankara has been playing a key role in fueling the unrest in Syria by financing, training, and arming the militants since the turmoil erupted in March 2011.
