Western officials, as well as allies in the Mideast, are trying to keep a close watch on what may be an ambitious, growing chemical weapons program by the Islamic State terror group. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls issued the latest warning Thursday, following the terror attacks on Paris that left at least 129 people dead. “They are in laboratories in Mosul and Raqqa, busy with making chemical weapons,” Kurdistan Regional Government Intelligence Agency director Lahur Talabani told VOA.
