Iraq
14 IS militants killed as chlorine-gas rocket explodes
2014-09-18
At least 14 members of the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group were killed Tuesday near Baghdad when a rocket whose warhead they were filling with chlorine gas exploded.

Iraqi security officials said seven more IS militants were injured in the incident, which occurred near the town of al-Dhuluiya, about 90 km north of Baghdad. Al-Dhuluiya was also where four members of the Iraqi security forces and Shiite militiamen suffered symptoms of asphyxiation after inhaling chlorine gas released by two improvised explosive devices.

It was the first time that chlorine has been used as a weapon in Iraq, although it is not uncommon in neighbouring Syria, where the regime's use of it has been denounced by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

#17  Pencilneck is the one with Saddam's supply of nerve gas...all other allegations came from the Kremlin,
yes from the KGB-FSB of the chinless pedophile dwarf Pooty Poot...the guy giving the mullahs nuclear reactors for thanks after the Beslan massacre, where 300 schoolchildren were raped then tortured to death by shiites from Chechnya...

#15  This would seem to lessen the certainty that only the Pencilneck forces have been gassing people, wouldn't it?

Totally agree. Problem is even in this article is refers to the Syrian Regime's use only, no speculation that perhaps at the very least both sides have used them, even as ISJV is caught red handed here.

#14  I guess they were working on the Darwin Award when the chlorine-gas rocket exploded.

#10  @Fred,
Yep it does seem to destroy the narrative that Assad was using gas...

#8  Hitler got mustard gassed. Take powdered chlorine tablets of the type used in swimming pools and mix with brake fluid. Don't stand too close.

#7  Virgins are up.

This would seem to lessen the certainty that only the Pencilneck forces have been gassing people, wouldn't it? He's probably waiting for the international apology.

#4  mix powdered chlorine tablets (like the kind used for disinfecting water supply) with, say, isopropyl alcohol in a tank and you may get quite a bang

the ingredients are relatively inexpensive but, of course, if you don't know what you are doing, well...

At least it worked as intended; Adolf Hitler got chlorined in WW1 and survived. (I'm told it tales care of roaches and rats, too.)
