The Baghdad security plan commanders have taken strict measures to control and monitor trucks loaded with fuel in Baghdad's neighbourhood, fearing that they might be loaded with chlorine to target civilians in residential areas.
Hamdi Ali, owner of a workshop for manufacturing cleaning materials in Zyoot district in Baghdad, told Gulf News: "Since armed groups started to use chlorine gas, my workshop was inspected three times by American and Iraqi forces, basically because I store a tolerable amount of this material to use in my work. Inspection operations are inconvenient but justified since the situation is dangerous," Ali added.
Due to this atmosphere of fear faced by Baghdad inhabitants, the Iraqi intelligence services took certain measures to avoid any further chemical attacks. These measures include: ordering the concerned bodies to check all stores that use chlorine in Baghdad and compel chlorine traders to submit a list on the imported and distributed quantities of this material.
