ISIS bomb & chemical weapons ‘research center’ in Mosul barely targeted in US strikes

ISIS has been using a high-tech lab in Mosul for building bombs and chemical weapons and training recruits in bomb-making since its capture in 2014. Barely targeted by US airstrikes, the facility has also provided jihadists with some 40 kg of uranium compounds.

“The University of Mosul is the best Daesh [Islamic State, formerly ISIS/ISIL] research center in the world,” Iraq’s top explosives officer Gen. Hatem Magsosi told The Wall Street Journal. “Trainees go to Raqqa [Syria], then to Mosul University to use the existing facilities.”

When the facility was seized by ISIS back in 2014, Iraqi officials reported to UN that some 40 kilos of uranium compounds kept there apparently fell into jihadists’ hands.

Retired CIA officer and State Department official Larry Johnson believes that the fact that the West is “expressing alarm and concern” over something that has been known for years indicates “there is some other agenda for it.”

“The notion that they are going to have this lab and create this global weapon center is laughable,” Johnson told RT. “That said, the fact they we know they’re there and they’re trying to use it that way, they should be destroyed, they should be killed. I think that’s just so obvious, it sort of bothers my mind, that nobody has been willing to target it.”

Johnson, however, pointed out that chemical weapons are “not very good as terror weapons as they are likewise difficult to produce, and they are difficult to use… but in terms of practical use they are real weapons best-designed to try to stop an invading army.”

While most believe low grade uranium is harmless, something in Iraq caused rising birth defects and cancer since war one. However, that is not the issue. IS has had this university for 2 years and while it was bombed once, that probably targeted the ladies bathroom.

To protect the boots on the ground the Pentagon is spending over 300 million on new cloth for fatigues. Actually really neat if it works.

the bombing video at source...good website if you want to know what was really on hillary's server. In fact, the source won awards for its coverage of occupy wall street and the Guantanamo bay hunger strike. Hey, its a start!

*sigh* I use to pity the Russians who had to listen to VOA and Radio Free Europe to hear real news.

We’ve come full circle.

Sounds like a good area to carpet bomb.

.....something in Iraq caused rising birth defects and cancer since war one.

Armor-piercing projectiles with depleted uranium were used in first Iraq war. Could that have been a contributing factor?

[huldah1776]

I had posted about the birth defect rise and the depleted uranium may be a contributing factor, but there has been argument against the studies.

While our boots do have to wear protective gloves while loading artillery and burn pits have been proven to cause illnesses (VA called for vets to come in and get checked) there are no old medical records for Iraq civilians and the trauma of war along with the Hussein weapons of mass destruction could all be contributors.

““I wouldn’t necessarily have designed the study in the same way as it was designed”, explains Pedersen, who notes that lower rates of birth defects could be expected from mothers’ recollections than if doctors had been asked to report them.”

Before the wars, what would happen to a severely deformed infant? Also, I think the VA was created to cover up what was really going on with our troops so you know what I think about the CDC.

People are starting to ask the right questions... Here's a hint: within the 'insiders' system, this insane choice (to ignore the site) makes sense.

Radioactive material in low activity can be very bad if inhaled or ingested. If it remains in the body for extended periods the contact exposure can be very damaging and even fatal.

Isis protects Saudi Peninsula oil, 1/6 of the worlds oil reserves from being taken over by Iran. Mosul keeps ISIS alive with fresh draftees. ISIS FALLS = SAUDI FALLS.

World AIN’T ready for a new tenant in the SAUDI PENN....YET.

That's Larry Johnson of Valerie Plame fame. Not to be trusted whatsoever.

Ah, I’m bad with names, but thought the general idea of knowing for 2 years about the lab and not taking it out made sense.
