Sarin.

This is coolbert:

IMPLAUSIBLE TO IMPOSSIBLE?

Devoted readers to the blog will have to decide this for themselves

As per the wiki entry for the Hazara proxy mercenary combat units active in the Syrian civil war:

"Pro-Syrian opposition media has claimed, based off photographs, that Liwa Fatemiyoun fighters use Sarin gas grenades."

HAND GRENADES AS CARRIED BY THE INDIVIDUAL FIGHTER BUT ABLE TO RELEASE POISON GAS OF THE MOST LETHAL VARIETY, A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!

COULD IT BE SO?

From several unverified and unsubstantiated and perhaps even disreputable sources:

1. "Saraqeb Sarin Incident: The Magic Grenades"

2. "Alleged 'sarin gas hand grenade' is most likely a non-lethal crowed [sic] control grenade"

ANY NERVE AGENT TO INCLUDE SARIN REQUIRES SPECIAL STORAGE AT ALL TIMES. TROOPS USING SARIN MUST BE SUITABLY MASKED AND SUITED PRIOR TO EMPLOYMENT. SARIN HAND GRENADE CARRIED BY THE INDIVIDUAL TROOP AS IS SUGGESTED AGAIN "IMPLAUSIBLE TO IMPOSSIBLE".

Consider all of this a non-starter from my perspective.
