There is evidence to prove that ISIS is using chlorine gas as a chemical weapon in its battle against peshmerga forces in Iraq, Kurdish authorities have claimed.

It says peshmerga forces discovered '20 gas canisters' loaded on the back of a truck involved in a suicide bomb attack in Iraq on January 23.

The Kurdistan Region Security Council says the chemical attack took place on a road between Iraq's second largest city of Mosul and the Syrian border.

It was here that peshmerga fighters were desperately trying to seize the vital supply line used by the militants when they found the alleged weapons.

A Kurdish official said dozens of peshmerga fighters were treated for 'dizziness, nausea, vomiting and general weakness' after the attack.

Traces of chlorine were discovered after samples of clothing and soil from the site were analysed, the Kurds claim. (DAILY MAIL)
