Military.com and Associated Press are reporting use of chlorine gas bombs by Islamic State fighters against government troops and civilians in Kurdish Iraq.

The Kurds allege at least three such attacks in the past six months. Twenty seven years ago, an entire town, some 5,000 Kurdish men, women, and children, were killed and another 10,000 injured by Iraqi chemical warheads in Halabja.
