\u201cISIS has managed to find some of the secret underground storage facilities, still holding chemical weapons, hidden in the desert. Unfortunately, they weren\u2019t properly guarded,\u201d said Ahmed Gaddafi Al-Dam, a cousin of Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan leader who was killed in 2011.<\/p>\n

Al-Dam, the stolen gas was then trafficked to the northern part of the country and sold.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two known cases of this chemical agent being stolen. I know this from my sources in Tripoli. In the first case, seven drums of sarin were stolen, and in the second, I think it was five.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the destructive chemicals have already been used, said Ahmed Gaddafi Al-Dam, who formerly was one of Gaddafi\u2019s most trusted security chiefs. He recalled that during the recent clashes near the Al-Quds Mosque in Tripoli, security forces discovered a vehicle loaded with sarin.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, those who had driven this vehicle into the city didn\u2019t understand the dangers of this nerve agent, and how risky it was to bring it into an urban area, let alone ever use it. I don\u2019t want to spread panic, but that\u2019s the reality. And the world knows this very well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Islamic State (IS, previously ISIS\/ISIL) has already used chemical weapons in Iraq and Syria, according to numerous reports.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Eren Erdem, a member of Turkey\u2019s main opposition party, the Republican People’s Party (CHP), told RT that IS terrorists in Syria had received all the necessary materials to produce deadly sarin gas via Turkey.<\/p>\n
