[FF Editorial: Following the unlawful attack by US air force on a Syrian airfield in retaliation for the spurious claim that Assad used sarin gas in a military strike against an ISIS stronghold, the Wahhabists in Malaysia, demented supporters of ISIS, celebrated with glee that the US is now fighting on the side of ISIS, Al Qaeda etc. The joy was shortlived.  Let’s see whether these war-mongers and blood thirsty extremists will celebrate with equal vigour now that their masters have destroyed their storehouse of chemical weapons and killed hundreds of their rank and file and supporters! Ouch!]  

The US-coalition Air Force has conducted airstrikes against ISIS positions in the eastern city of Deir Ezzor, targeting a chemical depot for the terror group which resulted in the death of hundreds of militants as well as civilian, the Syrian Ministry of Defense said in an official statement.

“Yesterday between 17:30 – 17:50 p.m., the so-called anti-ISIS coalition fighter jets struck an ISIS position in Hatla village to the east of Deir Ezzor. After the airstrike, a huge white cloud was formed –later on turned yellow – as a result of an explosion in a chemical depot. A hug fire broke out until 22:30 p.m. Hundreds have been killed – including civilians – as a result of breathing toxic materials,” the statement detailed.

The official statement said this incident confirms beyond any doubt that “terror groups, particularly ISIS and Jabhet al-Nusra, already own chemical weapons, and have the ability to obtain, transport, store and use such chemical agents with the help of some regional countries. This also stresses the fact that those terror groups are coordinating with its sponsors to accuse the Syrian Arab Army of using chemical weapons.”

The Syrian government forces have been accused of using Sarin gas against rebels in Khan Sheikhoun on April 4th, which killed at least 74 people.

The alleged attack has prompted the US to strike al-Shayrat airbase in central Homs with 59 cruise missiles.
