ISIS is plotting ‘mass casualty’ chemical attack on Britain
ISIS is plotting ‘mass casualty’ chemical attack on Britain, warns minister as he calls on citizens to help identify ‘the enemy within’
Ben Wallace told that ISIS would use chemical weapons here if they could
They can produce mustard gas and are using regularly in the Middle East
He also warned of the ‘threat from inside’ and asked the public to be vigilant
Al-Qaeda is also back on the rise and is becoming an ever-increasing threat
The Minister of State for Security has issued a stark warning that ISIS is plotting a chemical attack on Britain.
Ben Wallace said exercises are being carried out to prepare for such an atrocity.
ISIS has the capabilities to produce their own mustard gas, having already used the tactics in the Middle East.
Troops fighting against the terror group have been left with appalling injuries – including agonising blisters on their skin and badly damaged lungs – in a frightening echo of warfare in the trenches on the Western Front.
Ingredients to make these bombs are fairly common and easy to obtain, as most of them have other, legal uses.
Mr Wallace told the Sunday Times: ‘They have no moral objection to using chemical weapons against populations and, if they could, they would in this country.’
As well as having ISIS to deal with, the MP for Wyre and Preston North stated that Al-Qaeda is back on the rise and becoming an increasingly credible threat, and that the biggest threat to the UK is cyber attacks.
He also encouraged citizens to be vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour to identify ‘the enemy within’, as he fears foreign agents and colleagues could be corrupted by criminal gangs.

‘There are traitors, he said. ‘The insider threat, as we would call it, is real and can be exploited and there are people trying to do that as we speak.
‘If it’s hard to get in the front door, then what you try and do is get someone on the inside.’
A report last month described a chemical attack as an ‘aspiration’ for Isis, but a more conventional attack using guns and explosives still remains the most likely threat.
Two Kurdish fighters were killed in October by an Isis drone fitted with explosives, fuelling fears of a similar attack in the West.
