Battle for Mosul: IS 'using chemical weapons'

[BBC] The first use of chemical agents in the battle for Mosul was recorded by the International Red Cross in March, when mortars were fired from IS-held areas injuring 12 civilians.

According to accounts the BBC has obtained from Mosul residents, there were a number of other incidents over the past few weeks, where IS militants are suspected of using crude chemical gas against residents and Iraqi troops.

#4 To anyone found using chemical weapons: We will bomb you.

To anyone found using chemical weapons that we are already bombing: We will bomb you harder.

The brain uses lots of chemicals, and I hear it is supposed to be the best weapon of all.

Hemingway: You're safe from getting bombed for now.
