Di Methylsulfate or DMS. That and chlorine containers in the same weapons bunker.

TECHNICALLY...they are considered toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) because they have legitimate industrial uses as opposed to sarin which has no legitimate no weapon use.

However, they can be weaponized. DMS is a cousin of mustard.

Yes, these pics are for real and were taken in a weapons bunker at a base in Iraq.

Its a laugh that the left keeps talkinng about a lack of weapons of mass destruction. Saddam maintained power with the threat of WMD.

DMS

Acute (short-term) exposure of humans to the vapors of dimethyl sulfate may cause severe inflammation and necrosis of the eyes, mouth, and respiratory tract. Acute oral or inhalation exposure to dimethyl sulfate primarily damages the lungs but also injures the liver, kidneys, heart, and central nervous system (CNS), while dermal contact with dimethyl sulfate may produce severe blistering in humans. Human data on the carcinogenic effects of dimethyl sulfate are inadequate. Tumors have been observed in the nasal passages, lungs, and thorax of animals exposed to dimethyl sulfate by inhalation.
