Iraqi Member of Parliament Ali al-Bredi has claimed that Islamic State (IS) militants are using Chlorine gas against Iraqi soldiers in Fallujah.
In a press conference on Monday, al-Bredi revealed that IS have killed 300 Iraqi soldiers with chlorine gas.
He said that the militants deployed the gas in the Siqiliya area located of northern Fallujah, a city in Anbar province, about 70 km from the capital of Iraq, Baghdad.
“Responsibility for this lies with Iraqi PM Haidar Abadi and the commander of the forces in Anbar as they failed to rescue the soldiers,” said al-Bredi.
Expanding on the circumstances surrounding the attack, al-Bredi said, “After the insurgents surrounded the Iraqi soldiers, they used chlorine gas to suffocate them before detonating a car bomb, resulting in the death of 300 out of 400 soldiers.”
Al-Bredi also said that before the crime was committed, the soldiers asked for an urgent rescue mission, but were ignored.
Furthermore, on Sunday, US Secretary of State John Kerry also reiterated US concern over the use of chlorine gas against civilians in Syria and warned President Bashar al-Assad’s regime that it would be held to account.
#1, who cares?
#2, see #1.
Bull!
Actually, the western border is pretty much all waterfront property...the Colorado River ;)
Democrats as always bear responsibility as do the MSM.
however there is more than a little truth in the phrase”Bush’s Fault” here. He knew how widespread the chems were even after the big convoy to Syria. But he allowed...ALLOWED the dems to lie with impunity. this is the result.
there are many things I appreciate about the guy, but he massively screwed the pooch on this and the whole damn ‘ROP’ meme to protect his Saudi buddies. He owes the world the truth. Not that I expect it. And so does Cheney. Natsec be damned. This whole mess WAS a Natsec violation.
Which makes Geneva conventions look more than useless and stupid.
Definitely out dated. Our enemy has no concern for the laws of war.
Meanwhile our govt is punishing our troops for being warriors.
