Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, 2 Paragraphs: Will ISIS Defense of Mosul Include WMD?
CENTCOM proudly announced the death of ISIS chemical weapons expert Abu Malik in an airstrike in Mosul on January 30, 2015, ahead of the well-publicized Coalition Spring Counter Offensive to retake Mosul in Northern Iraq. Is Malik’s positioning in Mosul of strategic importance to the Coalition or just coincidence? It is well documented that ISIS have gathered various chemical, biological and nuclear expertise in Raqqa and Mosul in order to fashion WMD, or at least chemical and biological weapons of terror to attack those who oppose them. On a recent visit to Baghdad, I was briefed by Generals in the Iraqi Security Forces on their concerns that ISIS were continuing to use chlorine-filled mortar bombs and were trying to introduce Bubonic Plague, aka ‘Black death’, to refugee camps in Northern Iraq. ISIS had even developed scorpion bombs which they had rocketed into towns and villages. This all generates psychological terror well beyond any physical threat. Al Qaeda is well known for its chemical weapons program based around the hitherto unused but viable Maktaba hydrogen cyanide bomb, and much of this technology will now reside with ISIS experts.
WNU Editor: This is the nightmare scenario .... and as I have said more than once in the past .... nothing about this group surprises me anymore. The above video is from last year when allegations of chemical weapons use by the Islamic State in Iraq were first reported.

I thought for sure they would have blown that dam they were pushed off, but they didn't. I doubt they will use WMD. Of course there is no way to accurately predict their activities except of course that grizzly murders will continue.
