But the biggest scare belongs to the US as its concerns over ISIS, or terrorist groups of the sort, acquiring chemical weapons or the possibility that the Islamic State has already laid its hands on Syrian chemical weapons, unrevealed by the Assad regime.

IS could have acquired the weapons following its take-over in the provinces of Deir al-Zor, al-Rakka and al-Hasakeh.

What further ignited the fear was the declaration put forth by the Iraqi government in a letter to United Nations Chief Ban Ki-Moon, regarding armed terrorist groups that took control over a warehouse that previously housed chemical weapons dating back to the time of Saddam Hussein’s era.

The Iraqi Ambassador to the UN Mohammad Ali al-Hakim stated in a letter that armed groups had raided the warehouse after having disarmed the troops guarding the premises.

 As for the worst part of the IS puzzle, the recently leaked data reportedly taken off of a laptop stolen by Syrian rebel Abu Ali from one of ISIS’s locations following the clashes in the outskirts of Edleb.

Among the 146 GB of data found on the “laptop of doom”, the most alarming things found by Foreign Policy included manuals on how to make bombs, instructions for stealing cars, and how to use disguise to avoid being detected or arrested while travelling from one jihadi hotspot to another.

As for the most terrifying thing that could stir up worldwide controversy over the future of mankind is a 19-page document which detailed how to recreate the bubonic plague from dead animals.
