Abdalaziz Alhamza – Exclusive – Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently
Assad regime has escalated his attacks against civilians demanding the ”fall of the regime”, using all means to suppress the protests, he went so far beyond the red line Obama drew, and actually used Chemical Weapons in the areas he lost control of.
When Assad used Chemical Weapons in the famous Ghouta attack back in 2013, the ”international community” has formed a fact finding committee, and forced the regime to hand over its arsenal of Chemical Weapons. However the regime decided not to hand everything, and hid some of these weapons with its ally Hizbullah, and kept others to himself inside Syria according to sources.
According to information leaked to our campaign (Raqqa is being slaughtered silently), certain amounts of Mustard gas, were transferred to Al Raqqa via regime containers, which were intended to carry “Chlorine for water purification”.Part of it was then moved to East of Syria and Iraq (ISIS held territories).
German reports published earlier this year, confirmed that ISIS (Islamic State) had used poisonous gases in Iraq. Also, there has been news that the ISIS used chemical weapons against the Kurds in the countryside of Ain Arab northern Syria.

The latest reports came from Aleppo, and they talk about the use of mustard gas and other toxic gases in the east part of Aleppo’s countryside during the past few days.
Moving the Chemical weapons to ISIS has a huge benefit for the regime, this way he can clear his name from the Ghouta and other attacks by claiming the he is not the only one who has these kind of weapons in Syria. Also, he can convince the international community that they should keep him and fight the terrorist organizations instead, which will give him back his legitimacy.
By transferring his CW to ISIS, he can get it back whenever he needs it, as it’s in ”safe hands”, he also get his enemy bombed with CW, by the hands of ISIS, without having to do it himself.
The biggest gain to this transfer remain that he can threaten Turkey, Jordan and Israel, with these weapons, without having them linked to him, since he is busy ”fighting” the terrorist groups.
Red Crescent in Raqqa which was responsible for bringing the chlorine (for water treatment) in the city before, but ISIS has stopped the organization’s work months ago, without giving any reason. But it’s clear now. We can see the extent of indirect cooperation between ISIS and the regime, and how they help each others against their enemies.

Dear Mr Almossa. I’m a journalist working for Norwegian broadcaster TV 2, and I’m currently working on a story on the possible use of mustard gas and other Chemical agents by ISIS. Do you have more material from the Chemical attack in Marea last week? Can you explain where the Picture in this article are originating from, and if we can use them in a News story? Best regards, Hilde Gran (hgr@tv2.no)
Just wonder what the US have promised you for writing that…
Shame on you!
We do believe ISIL uses chemical weapons, but please don’t tell us Assad gives it to them. You work for the State Dep. as a propaganda machine…
