The Islamic State militants have used
chlorine gas against the Peshmerga to the north of Mosul as the Kurdish
forces advance in the area.
“On Friday, Peshmerga forces began to
attack the villages of Qsur, Qadisya, Kasike and Shindokhan north of
Mosul,” Peshmerga officer Kamaran Hawrami told BasNews.
He continued, “IS militants responded
with car bombs, but our forces destroyed their vehicles with MILAN
rockets before they got close to us.”
Hawrami believes that these vehicles
were different. “The vehicle was filled with chlorine gas – some
Peshmerga fainted after coming into contact with it. Our medical team
was able to effectively treat them immediately.”
During the current operations north of
Mosul, the Peshmerga have neutralised 20 IS car bombs with MILAN
rockets. The MILAN system has been instrumental in blocking the threat
posed by suicide bombers using vehicles packed with explosives.
