A (Convenient) Fiction… • One morning,not so long ago… the CIA was asked by the President toassess the chance that the Syrian opposition would use chemical weapons by mid-2014. • As part of building that analysis, and because there are Al-Qaeda elements in the Syrian opposition, an analyst named Alice was asked to characterize Al-Qaeda’s attitudeto using chemical weapons against Middle Eastern governments.
From: Ayman Al-Zawahiri (?) To: “Hafiz Sultan”
Dear Brother, We need guidance from you on the issue of using chlorine gas technology. It was reported that the brothers in Iraq have used it, but this was implicitly denied in a statement issued by the Islamic State of Iraq. The brothers where Mahmud is have the potential to use chlorine gas on the forces of the apostates, Jalal Talabani and Mas'ud Barzani, and have already considered using it. However, I informed them that matters as serious as this require centralized [coordination] and permission from the senior [al-Qa'ida] leadership, because the gas could be difficult to control and might harm some people, which could tarnish our image, alienate people from us, and so on.” From: Ayman Al-Zawahiri (?)
