#3 Chlorine gas is pretty easy to make and would be my terror weapon of choice.

I've held off quite a few years saying that as I didn't want to give the wrong people ideas, but it's in the mix now.

#4 The Speicher Massacre was near Tikrit in mid June 2014. No chlorine gas was used, just bullets. The dead (between 1000 and 1700) were unarmed cadets who were departing the training base for leave from Iraqi army training. They were captured by ISIS and executed in mass.
