Chemical warfare, the breath of death.
Medical officials at Dohuk hospital saw nine Kurdish fighters admitted to their facility with symptoms of heavy chemical-weapons poisoning last Friday, such as
corrosive burns of the upper respiratory tract, vomiting and itching, the Associated Press reports. Director of Dohuk hospital, Dr Afrasiab Mussa Yones said further analysis is necessary, but the
initial symptoms suggest chlorine had been used. Samples taken from the troops' clothes would be sent for analysis, he said.
Kurdish military Colonel Lukhman Kulli Ibrahim told AP that following the mortar attack he
lost consciousness. When he came to, he felt his chest and eyes burning. Earlier this week, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) acknowledged that Islamic State (IS, former ISIS/ISIL)
used mustard gas on Kurdish forces in Iraq last August. Lab tests came back positive for the substance.
Last week, US Central Intelligence Agency director
John Brennan warned that IS had used chemical munitions in battle and may have access to chemical agents. "We have a number of instances where ISIL has used chemical munitions on the battlefield," the CIA chief told CBS.
"There are reports that ISIS has access to chemical precursors and munitions that they can use." In November 2015, AP cited Iraqi and US officials, saying Islamic State has created a special branch to develop chemical weapons. The terrorist group is using scientists from Iraq and Syria as well as other countries in the region.
Comment: Think about it: Rice, no paragon of virtue herself, at least had the common sense to donate her fee back to the charity. Killary kept it all. She just can't help but to expose herself for the vile creature she is. Watch out, America, lest you get the president-butcher the civilized world thinks you deserve.
