Analyst urges accountability over supplies of chemicals to Daesh
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has declared that the Daesh Takfiri group might have manufactured the sulfur mustard gas that was used in terrorist attacks in Syria and Iraq. The OPCW experts analyzed samples of mustard gas, used in the August 2015 attack, and reached the conclusion that the substance may have been produced by Daesh itself.
Mike Harris, editor of the Veterans Today, told Press TV that that foreign intelligence agencies and governments which provide Daesh with chemical weapons should be held accountable before the International Criminal Court and the United Nations.
“It’s time to take legal action both within The Hague as well as within the UN itself and identify these countries who are enabling these terrorist actions,” Harris noted.
“Let’s these governments be identified, let’s label them and let’s sanction them as we can under the UN authority and cut them off from all trade and all banking,” he said.
According to the analyst, the poison gas that the Daesh has used came from Georgia and was manufactured under the auspices of a US-based company.
The Takfiri terrorist "is less than of a threat than the people who are providing them with material support. The real terrorists are the ones you do not see,” he said.
He touched on the role of the Western media "in hiding the hands behind terrorists' crimes and the media hype to put the blame on the other side of the conflict in Syria."
"The propaganda machine had been trying to blame the [President Bashar al-Assad] for poison gassing his own people for some time that has been proven to be false,” he said.
Syria has called for an investigation by the Hague-based agency into the use of chemical agents by terrorists against civilians in the country’s battered city of Aleppo.
On November 13, terrorists in eastern Aleppo fired mortar shells containing chlorine gas on Aleppo’s al-Nairab area, injuring civilians and causing cases of asphyxiation among 30 military personnel, according to the Syrian government.
Separately on November 15, Iraqi Kurds said they had found documents near the Daesh held-city of Mosul which showed the terror outfit had awarded those using chemical weapons.
