45. ISIS Terrorists Used Chlorine and Mustard Gas Bombs Against Iraqi and Shi’ite Soldiers, 2014: 40 Wounded
In 2014, the Middle East further destabilized when a longstanding terrorist group known as ISIS, which had long been active in Syria, swept through Iraq and took vast swathes of territory. Thousands of civilians and soldiers were massacred in brutal fashions, including Iraqi Christians being crucified in public executions.
To help accomplish the military campaigns, members of ISIS used mustard gas and chlorine bombs to subdue Shi’ite and Iraqi soldiers that attempted to overcome them. None of the soldiers died in the attack, but 40 were wounded.
