The United States is placing sanctions on ISIS chemical weapons experts, which is the first move of it’s kind aimed at the terror group.
The Islamic State has repeatedly used low-grade chemical weapons like chlorine, sulfur, and mustard gas in Syria and Iraq.
The State and Treasury Departments say the new sanctions stop two ISIS weapon makers from accessing property or interests under U.S. jurisdiction.
One weapon maker was in charge of an explosive manufacturing factory in Iraq.
The other ISIS leader was a member of the Taliban since 2003, and received chemical weapons training in Syria before returning to Iraq in 2015.
