On February 3, India warned against chemical weapons of mass destruction falling into the hands of terrorists noting the reports of the resurgence of the Islamic State (IS) terror group in Syria, reports Business Standard. "India remains concerned about the possibility of such dangerous weapons of mass destruction falling into the hands of terrorist organisation and individuals," R. Ravindra, a Deputy Permanent Representative of India, told the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). "Terrorist groups have taken advantage of the decade-long conflict in Syria to entrench themselves posing a threat to the entire region. Reports of the resurgence of the IS in the region are being heard with increasing frequency," he said after the Council heard a briefing on the implementation of its resolution against chemical weapons in that country. That Resolution adopted in 2013 expressly demanded that "non-State actors" or terror groups "not develop, acquire, manufacture, possess, transport, transfer, or use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons and their means of delivery". Ravindra said: "The world cannot afford to give these terrorists any sanctuary or dilute its fights against these terrorist groups."
