U.S. Military Orders Troops To Prepare For Chemical Attacks

During the past several days, more reports have been received of chemical attacks in Syria and Iraq by the Islamic State terror organization, otherwise known as ISIS. On August 11th, Kurdish news agency Rudaw reported of a mortar attack by ISIS in the north of Iraq – an attack which was established as having been accompanied by chemical weapons after reports on yellow smoke in the area were received. A couple of weeks or so after that, a rocket suspected of carrying chemical weapons was fired by ISIS at Kurdish Peshmerga forces guarding the Mosul Dam, the Kurdish media news agency Rudaw reported.
