SYRIA:FRESH FEARS OF CHEMICAL ATTACKS IN RAQQA
BY ABDULMUMINI ADEKU.
A RUSSIAN WAR SHIP STATIONED IN SYRIAN WATERS AS AT PRESS TIME
IF the President Basheer Al Assad ‘s regime did not unleash a
chemical warfare in Syria leading to the death of scores of civilians,then the
Islamist group,I.S.I.S would have as it is clearly a case of kill or be killed.
Checks by The News office Desk of Paedia Express Multimedia
in Lagos,Nigeria ,suggests that the issue which has led to a very big tension
in the gulf with the United states of America attacking Syria for using chemical
weapons on hapless civilians has led to Russia ordering two of its warships in its navy arsenal to head and berth near Damascus as at press time.
I.S.I.S. are long known to have carted away a lot of chemical weapons from the destroyed
laboratories of the University of Mosul in Iraq during their occupation of the
city in between 2014 till early 2017.
Insiders also insists that most of the swathes of land taken
over by I.S.I.S have major oil facilities with their own chemical supplies and
weapons possibilities.
A source agreed that it will not be out of place to say that
Assad was scared of losing out in a chemical war race to I.S.I.S and this was
what prompted him to fire the initial salvo.
The source also noted that since the Syrian civil war had
dragged on for as much as six years ,he will not be surprised if Syria was
financially broke as against i.s.i.s which has a large swathe of war chest
monetarily buoyed from the oil fields they have captured as spoils of war .
Seized at the
University of Mosul in 2014 was about 40 kilogramme of unenriched uranium
though experts had declared at the time that it will be difficult for the
terrorists to us e it for any form of warfare.
However,the group was
able to make vital quantities of mustard gas which had being deployed regularly against Kurdish and
national forces.
I.S.I.S will most likely use chemical weapons
in its efforts to defend Raqqa,its defacto capital in Syria.
