this is a different attack from the ones people are usually talking about with Assad, that report is about a mustard gas attack (which ISIS has/had access to) and the notable attacks people accuse Assad of perpetrating were sarin gas attacks (which ISIS never had access to afaik)
Right, it took a decade to show that this attack wasn't Assad. It's going to take a lot longer for anything that's less obvious. I'm mostly showing that there is very little interest in investigation if it can't be pinned on Assad.
Sarin gas isn't hard to make by the way. A bunch of Japanese cultists were able to do it. They also made VX, phosegene, and hydrogen cyanide. Apparently money and dedication will take you a long way.
