American officials believe Islamic State militants are now using chemical weapons.
They say ISIS probably used mustard gas in a recent attack against Kurdish forces in northern Iraq.
About 60 Kurdish fighters suffered breathing difficulties after the attack. That is a tell-tale sign of chemical weapons use.
The jihadist fighters are believed to have used chemical weapons last month as well.
Confirmation of weapons of mass destruction would mark a dramatic turn in the threat from ISIS.
It is unclear where the militants may have obtained the weapons.
