Islamist State may launch attack on London's Underground subway system

The 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway killed 13 people. Experts now fear that Islamist State agents returning to the United Kingdom will launch similar offenses

اقتباس :: LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online): "Virtually every foreign jihadi who returns to the US or UK will have been exposed to training of this sort and will have a reasonable idea on how to use chlorine and other toxic chemicals as a terror weapon," Bretton-Gordon wrote.
"It is very evident that Isis are putting much time and effort into training its jihadis in the use of chlorine as a terror weapon and in particular in IEDs (improvised explosive devices)," he wrote.

large amounts of chlorine can be bought without a permit, increasing the likelihood of it being used against civilian populations.
"Virtually every foreign jihadi who returns to the U.S. or U.K. will have been exposed to training of this sort and will have a reasonable idea on how to use chlorine and other toxic chemicals as a terror weapon."
According to Bretton-Gordon, up to 90 tons of chlorine gas can be purchased in the U.K. without a license.
Bretton-Gordon also offered tips on how best to survive a chlorine gas attack.
"Avoid the yellow and green cloud, run away and get to high ground, and in extremis, do as they did in World War I, urinate into a cloth and breath through it . your urea very effectively traps the chlorine."
Bretton-Gordon has previously advised security forces in Baghdad and given civilians in Syria the basic expertise to avoid chlorine.
Bretton-Gordon told reporters that a chlorine gas attack was "highly likely" in the U.K.
"This could happen on a train or tube or even at a big football match. Islamic State are all over these chemical weapons," said Bretton-Gordon.
He stressed that, "the last two weeks in Syria and Iraq have seen the most concentrated and deadly use of chemical weapons," since the 1980s Iran-Iraq war.
