Fourteen ISIS Fighters Killed Filling a Chemical Warhead
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 9/18/14 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 09/18/2014 7:59:38 PM PDT by Nachum

At least 14 ISIS fighters were killed while filling a chemical warhead near Baghdad. The Business Standard reported, via Rantburg:

At least 14 members of the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group were killed Tuesday near Baghdad when a rocket whose warhead they were filling with chlorine gas exploded.

Iraqi security officials said seven more IS militants were injured in the incident, which occurred near the town of al-Dhuluiya, about 90 km north of Baghdad. Al-Dhuluiya was also where four members of the Iraqi security forces and Shiite militiamen suffered symptoms of asphyxiation after inhaling chlorine gas released by two improvised explosive devices.

death by chlorine gas is one of the more horrible ways to die. It pretty fitting for these twisted effers considering that they intended to deliver that hell to others. read acounts of the soldiers from the second battle of Ypres to see how horrible chlorine gas is. It’s the most rudimentary chemical weapon but it is extremely effective against unprepared civilians and its effects on the eyes, lungs, skin, and mucous membranes are hideous.

Unfortunately chlorine gas is pretty commonly used stuff. Any hotel swimming pool facility uses it.

I agree.

I will say this, they start using that and the gloves are off.

The West will kick their ass to hell and back.

WMDs tend to unite people in outrage.

As I noted before, there is a big difference between having a missile, ship, fighter jet, tank, etc, and being able to use it. Certainly, these weapons in the hands of incompetents is problematic as is the off chance of finding someone among their ranks who has some inkling of how to use these things.

I thought there were no chemical weapons or MWDs in Iraq. Will the president use the Bush excuse? Will Hans Blix (or is it Arns Bricks?) come out of retirement?

This is being reported by the “Gateway Pundit” which cites the “The Business Standard” which cites “Rantburg.” At some point we have to question the reliability of the source.

Your right. But it is still a good thought.

maybe Angela Merkel might cast an eye at history and decide to help eradicate this instance of a style of warfare pioneered by Germany.

What a sad story! Fourteen men killed. If they had only done it at their HQ, it might have been a happier outcome. Alas, they should still get their 72 virgins.

Here's one of the 72:
Too bad, so sad.
