Pentagon concerns over Daesh use of chlorine gas


(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) The United States Department of Defense"Pentagon" expressed concern about reports that Daesh used chlorine gas as a weapon, but it could not confirm the account.

"We are certainly concerned about it. We have not been able to independently confirm it," said Pentagon spokesman Colonel Steven Warren.

He added "we have seen what the Kurds have to say. We have no reason not to believe them".

The spokesman stressed that the alleged attack was another example of the "brutality" of Daesh extremists and could signal their "desperation" as they come under mounting pressure on the battlefield.
