Video Claims To Show A Chemical Bomb Dropped On Al-Bab

Over the last couple of days I've seen the same video repeatedly shared on Facebook and Twitter with claims that it shows a chemical weapon used on Al Bab


There's obviously a massive amount of interest in chemical weapon use in Syria at the moment, so it's worth taking a look at this video.

What we actually have in this video is a ODAB-500PM fuel-air bomb, which have been used in the conflict for several months.  I've collected a number of videos showing the remains of these bombs, which have generally been burnt out, so this is a pretty unique look inside an ODAB that hasn't caught fire.  You'll note in the video the men talk about liquid spilling out of it, and that it smells like benzene, which makes sense as this bomb sprays a cloud of fuel around it just before igniting.

  1. You raise valid-seeming questions about the death toll in Khan al-Assal, and other points. I really don't know how many pounds of what would be needed, or anything like that. And as I said elsewhere, interesting points about the weapons (which got more interesting just now) EssaysWriters.
    I do note there's no response to the main content on the investigation. That also seems pretty fair.
