Chemical security

What if Isis launches a chemical attack in Europe?

An Israeli girl tries on a gas mask. ‘During the Gulf war, Israelis were advised to carry a small bag containing a gas mask and antidotes to a chemical attack at all times.’The UK government must consider the possibility of an Islamic State attack on its territory with unconventional weapons. As Europe debates how to deal with Isis in the aftermath of the Paris attacks, Isis is revelling in what it considers success, and is undoubtedly planning the next assault. Only that the next strike may be just as Isis vows: more lethal, even more shocking, it may just be one where the internationally banned abhorrent weapons of mass destruction are used. The UK, and other states fighting Isis, need to be on alert.
