Ahmet Uzumcu

The head of a global arms watchdog said April 19 that "incontrovertible" test results from an alleged chemical strike in Syria showed sarin gas or a similar substance had been used.

A global watchdog reported that there are “extremely worrying” signs that ISIS may be making its own chemical weapons and may have already used them in Iraq and Syria.

The head of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Ahmet Uzumcu, said his teams have found evidence of the use of sulphur mustard in attacks in the two countries.

The U.N. Security Council is expected to unanimously approve a resolution on August 7 aimed at identifying those responsible for using chlorine and other chemical weapons in attacks in Syria that have killed and injured a growing number of civilians.
