Islamic State has created a chemical weapons cell in Syria made up of its top specialists from across its new self-titled caliphate, according to US officials.
Having fled both Mosul and Raqqa en masse due to intense military pressure, ISIS terrorists are said to be calling an area it controls within the Euphrates River Valley its de facto capital.
It is here, between Mayadin and the town of al Qaim across the border in Iraq, where the cell is working on its chemical arsenal.
A source in the US defence department said thousands of ISIS terrorists have converged in the area, which is where the group’s leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is said to be hiding.
The production faction is made up of chemistry experts from across Iraq and Syria, who have been brought together for the first time, an official told CNN.
With so many of its strongholds under huge pressure from coalition forces, the move is said to be a tactical switch to boost its ability to defend those areas.
