ISIS carries out chemical attacks in Iraq, Syria
2015-09-03
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Kurdish authorities said on Tuesday they suspected a homemade rocket fired by 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....
at their Peshmerga forces in northern Iraq contained chemical substances, accusing the Islamist Lions of Islam of an increasing use of chemical weapons, Rooters reported.

The Kurdistan Region's Security Council (KRSC) said the attack had taken place along the front line north of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
on Aug. 31, and one Peshmerga fighter was receiving treatment in hospital.

A "considerable amount" of yellow smoke was produced, it said.

Samples taken from the site of another attack earlier this year tested positive for chlorine, and at least two other incidents are being investigated.

In similar chemical attack in Syria, ISIS on Tuesday has fired at least 15 mustard gas mortars on northern town of Marea, 20 km (12 miles) from the Turkish border, 25 suffocation cases were reported, medics told Zaman al-Wasl.

The medical crew said ISIS toxic gas attack is the second in 10 days on the border town with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
Meanwhile,
...back at the saloon, Butch got the bill for the damage caused by the fist fight, the mirror broken in the shootout, and drinks for everyone......
Islamic State has now encircled Marea that falls within a "safe zone" Turkey said last month it would set up in northern Syria to help keep ISIS at bay, according to Rooters.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in The Hague has expressed its concern about the alleged use of chemical weapons in the region but has said either Baghdad or the U.N. Security Council would have to make a request if the OPCW were to investigate.

#2  Looks like the Turks are not only liars, but incompetent as well.

Actually, OS, they're very competent liars.

In other words, the Turks have had no problems generating air strikes and artillery against Kurds, but are not lifting a finger against an impending ISIS slaughter in an area the Turks said they would secure.

Looks like the Turks are not only liars, but incompetent as well.
