BEIRUT, Apr 13: The Syrian army said an air strike late yesterday by the US-led coalition hit poison gas supplies belonging to Islamic State, releasing a toxic substance that killed “hundreds”, but the coalition denied carrying out raids in the area.
A statement by the army, flashed today by Syrian state TV, said the incident in the eastern Deir al-Zor province proved that Islamic State and al Qaeda-linked militants “possess chemical weapons”.
The report could not immediately be independently verified.
