The Pentagon says it launched two airstrikes last week targeting ISIL’s chemical weapons capabilities, after a captured ISIL chemical weapons specialist reportedly gave the U.S. information about the program. The Iraqi specialist was reportedly captured by U.S. special operations forces in northern Iraq three weeks ago. Unnamed military officials say that the specialist worked for Saddam Hussein’s now-dissolved Military Industrialization Authority before joining ISIL. U.S. officials say he also provided information about how ISIL has used mustard gas during attacks.
