I was just wondering what specific info they have and where Daesh is getting the stuff. From Saddam’s stash that was moved to Syria along with other wmds?
Syria had plenty of the stuff from way back. I was writing of Syria and their SCUD’s and chem weapons back in 1997.
So, who knows? I’m sure a lot of both Syria and Iraq have been compromised though there should have been little left in Iraq. I never liked how facilities were being blown up though; that’s just not proper disposal for chem nor bio.
ISIS/Daesh was formed out of a merger with Zarqawi’s al JIhad group, Mullah Krekar’s Ansar group, and Iraqi General al Dhouri’s intelligence operatives. Al Dhouri had access to Saddam Hussein’s stash of regime money in Syria which was a huge sum and probably had his own, too. He may have access to other regime accounts for the Iraqi regime had accounts in Switzerland, Leichtenstein, and other havens including the al Taqwa Bank which also had al Qaeda accounts. When Saddam was executed al Dhouri swore a loyalty oath to Zarqawi, who had finally sworn a loyalty oath to bin Laden. Zarqawi was later killed and for a while al Baghdaddi took over but no one really knew if Baghdaddi was a real person or a fabrication to provide cover for al Dhouri or someone else.
