Islamic State militants attacked Kurdish forces in Iraq with mustard gas last year, the first known use of chemical weapons in Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein, a diplomat said, based on tests by the global chemical weapons watchdog.
A source at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) confirmed that laboratory tests had come back positive for the sulfur mustard, after around 35 Kurdish troops were sickened on the battlefield last August.
The OPCW will not identify who used the chemical agent. But the diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity because the findings have not yet been released, said the result confirmed that chemical weapons had been used by Islamic State fighters.

Iraq’s chemical arsenal was mainly destroyed in the Saddam era, although U.S. troops encountered some old Saddam-era chemical munitions during the 2003-2011 U.S. occupation.
Syria gave up its own chemical weapons, including stockpiles of sulfur mustard, under international supervision after hundreds of civilians were killed with sarin nerve gas in a Damascus suburb in 2013, an attack Western countries blame on President Bashar al-Assad’s government, which denies it.
But America is still the cause of all the world’s problems, according to the smart people.
A couple of weeks ago the mozlem animals stated that they were planning an attack that would dwarf 9-11 and my first thought was a large scale chemical attack on a major city.
In the past, the policy was that any chemical attack would be met with nukes, but of course that was before we had the p***y mozlem usurper.
Straight line to Hillary
I doubt it will be a chemical attack but instead it will be a bio attack.
When ISIS went into Iraq they made a bee-line to a bunker that would have contained SH’s bio weapons.
The military tried to get Obama to rebomb the bunker to make sure it was never entered but Obama refused.
One of the bio weapons would have been anthrax.
A baby food jar full of anthrax spores would be more than enough to contaminate every major city in the US many times over.
They could be sending people across the border each with a small amount of anthrax headed to different cities.
Even if you catch one that one wouldn’t know who the others were so there would be no way to stop them.
There is no solid proof they were destroyed. An Israeli intel chief and one of Saddam's own generals claims the bulk were transferred from Iraq to Syria. Nobody knows for sure. But stockpiles of WMDs were found. Even the NY Slimes admitted as much.
On CNN I saw missiles being moved into Syria from Iraq. I only saw the satellite shots maybe 2 times and they were removed from the air. They were on Russian trucks and draped with cloth but it was apparent what they were.
