Obama Politics: ICRC strongly condemns use of chemical weapons around Mosul

[LonestarDream]

Thanks Obama!  Thanks for not getting the status of forces agreement done. 

Sadam killed 100,000 Kurds with mustard gas, I guess seven does not count as WMD either.

Hope we fit coalition troops with gas masks and atropine  when we go into Raqqa...

Baghdad (ICRC) – The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) condemns in the strongest possible terms the use of chemical weapons during fighting around the Iraqi city of Mosul. Seven patients with symptoms consistent with an exposure to a toxic chemical agent are currently being treated at Rozhawa hospital, close to Mosul, where fighting is ongoing. ICRC medical teams at the hospital are offering full support to the local medical teams.

@don-o   @Bigun   .   What do you guys make of this.?

Khatla Ali Abdullah, 90, is embraced as she flees her home as Iraqi forces battle with Islamic State militants in western Mosul.

"Even under the Saddam era, we were afraid because of the atrocities and the people killed," she said. "But nothing is compared to this phase".

If chemicals are being used in battle, one would expect more than seven casualties. Perhaps an ISIS cache was broached? Perhaps they damaged the containers in their bugout?

or, maybe Russia's fault?

I may be able to explain.  There were a few mortars fired from the west bank of the Tirgris to the East bank.  That is why the injuries were isolated.

The east side of Mosul has been cleared as you have seen from the countless maps that I posted on the other thread.

Not following you. Are you saying that someone is firing chems via mortar?

Yes.  The ISIS side.  So the scary thing is, there may be LOTS of those Mustard/chlorine mortar shells in Raqqa.

OR the training videos disseminated Yemen/Mosul/Raqqa  could inspire people like the Boston bombers or Orlando or San Bernadino bombers.

The organisation said it did not know which side used the chemical agents that caused blisters, redness in the eyes, irritation, vomiting, and coughing.

The United States has warned that Islamic State could use weapons containing sulfur mustard agents to repel the offensive on the northern Iraqi city.

ICRC medical teams were supporting local medical teams treating the seven patients, who were admitted over the past two days to Rozhawa hospital in Erbil, east of Mosul, the organisation said.

The ICRC had reinforced 13 medical centres in areas surrounding Mosul with capacity to treat gas attacks victims, ahead of the offensive that started in October.

The editors at the BBC better get to work .  The red area is the only propaganda I could find.

They are also suspected of being behind suspected chemical attacks on Kurdish forces in northern Iraq.

According to a report released last November by the UK-based IHS Conflict Monitor, IS is suspected of having used chemical weapons on at least 52 occasions since 2014, with a third of those in areas around Mosul.

IS is not the only actor in the region accused of using chemical weapons, with the Syrian government alleged to be behind a number of chlorine gas attacks on civilians during the country's six-year long civil war.
