2015-10-09
[ARA] Officials in Iraqi Kurdistan confirmed the use of mustard agent by ISIS hard boyz in attacks against the Peshmerga forces in August.

The Peshmerga Ministry in the Kurdistan Region said in a statement on Thursday that blood tests have shown the use of the chemical agent by hard boyz of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
against the Kurdish forces.

"The results of the tests on blood samples from 35 Kurdish fighters reveal traces of mustard gas," the ministry said.

"During the attack on Gweyr and Makhmur, Daesh (ISIS) launched around 50 mortar rounds, 37 of them released white dust and black liquid when they went kaboom!," it said in reference to an attack that took place on Aug. 11.

The Peshmerga Ministry said that 35 Peshmerga soldiers have been exposed to the mustard agent, adding that some of the injured soldiers have been taken abroad for treatment.
