Syria Terrorists Use Chemical Weapons

Local Editor

A new report revealed that mustard gas was used during fighting between "ISIS" and other militant groups in a Syrian town, citing an undisclosed paper by the international chemical arms watchdog.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons released a confidential report on October 29, revealing the latest use of chemical weapons in Syria.

The summary of the report concluded "with the utmost confidence that at least two people were exposed to sulfur mustard on August 21" in the town of Marea, located north of Aleppo.

Sulfur mustard is known to lead to severe delayed burns to the eyes, skin and lungs. Therefore, "It is very likely that the effects of sulfur mustard resulted in the death of a baby," the report added.

Diplomatic sources confirmed the use of chemical weapons during the fighting between "ISIS" and other terrorist group in the town of Marea at the time. "It raises the major question of where the sulfur mustard came from," a source stated, adding that they might have gained the ability to make it themselves.

It is worth mentioning that Syria delivered its chemical weapons stockpile 18 months ago. It also officially became an OPCW member in October 2013.
