Iraq says 'no evidence' of chemical weapons attacks in Mosul

UNITED NATIONS, Mar 11 (Reuters) Iraqi UN Ambassador Mohamed Ali Alhakim said there was "no evidence" that Islamic State had used chemical weapons in Mosul, where the militants are fighting off an offensive by US-backed Iraqi forces.
Alhakim said he spoke with officials in Baghdad at midday yesterday and "there was really no evidence that Daesh has used this chemical weapon." Daesh is another name for Islamic State.
The United Nations said last Saturday that 12 people, including women and children, had been treated for possible exposure to chemical weapons agents in Mosul since March 1.
