THE HAGUE (Reuters) - Chemical weapons experts have determined that mustard gas was used during fighting in Syria in August, according to a report by an international watchdog seen by Reuters.
The chemical — which causes severe delayed burns to the eyes, skin and lungs and is banned under international law — was used during a battle between Islamic State insurgents and another rebel group, diplomatic sources said.
The confidential Oct. 29 report by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
(OPCW), a summary of which was shown to Reuters, concluded "with the utmost confidence that at least two people were exposed to sulfur mustard" in the town of Marea, north of Aleppo, on Aug. 21.
"It is very likely that the effects of sulfur mustard resulted in the death of a baby," it said.
The report provides the first official confirmation of use of sulfur mustard, commonly known as mustard gas, in Syria since it agreed to destroy its chemical weapons stockpile, which included sulfur mustard.

And exactly how did AG kill the thread ?
1. I wonder if some of the Bathists currently in ISIS hid some of the mustard gas from Saddam Hussein's
stockpile before Iraq fell.
Even the DUmbest of primitives is smart enough to not tangle with this Chinese Finger Trap.
