Top US intelligence official warns about possible ISIS chemical attack
The director of US National Intelligence warned that ISIS has the ability to use chemical weapons against the US. In a conference in Munich, he warned that the organization already possesses such chemical weapons and has even used them several times in the past.
Director of US National Intelligence James Clapper stated yesterday (Friday) that ISIS is capable of using chemical weapons against the US. In a speech during an annual security summit in Munich, Clapper warned that the organization already possesses dangerous chemical weapons and has even used them several times in Syria and Iraq.
In the past, the Syrian government and several rebel groups in Syria have accused one another of using these weapons, which apparently contain mustard gas. However, now it seems that these weapons have reached the hands of ISIS.
“It is very clear aspirationally they [ISIS] would like to do more and it is a concern to us, in the United States, because the indications are that they would like to use chemical weapons against us,” warned Clapper.
