Mustard gas

If anything could make Islamic State more barbaric and dangerous than we already know, it could be this - they have chemical weapons.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has determined that mustard gas was used in Iraq last year against the Kurds.

IS may have recovered chemical weapons from stockpiles in areas of Syria which they've overrun. It could also be, as one expert believes, that IS has developed its own chemical weapons in Mosul, Iraq, which they took in the summer of 2014.
