Officials from the Esbat al-Ansar group said Friday that US reports accusing the militant Islamic group of having nerve gas supplied by Iraq did not deserve a response.

The officials were “adamant” that the reports were “fabricated,” a source said. Esbat al-Ansar, based in Sidon’s Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp, has been described as a “terrorist” organization by Washington.

The officials from the group were reluctant to speak with reporters, but one said that such reports did not warrant a reply.

“We are not in a hurry to reply to (US President George W.) Bush or others,” the official said. The men guarding the group’s offices refused journalists’ requests to take pictures of them.

After the fall, these muslims should be locked away in chambers with their non-nerve gasses.
