There's an indication that the Elite commandos have been on training to storm an Islamic State chemical weapons factory in Britain as fears grow that jihadists returning from Syria or Iraq are poised to launch a deadly gas attack.

The crack troops staged the United Kingdom’s biggest-ever chemical weapons exercise in recent years in a direct response to intelligence assessments that suggest terrorists will try to smuggle the deadly substances into the UK, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

    More than 100 Royal Marines wearing the state-of-the-art protective equipment joined RAF chemical weapons experts and Ministry of Defence scientists on the two-week training mission, code-named "Exercise Toxic Dagger".

    The drill at Salisbury Plain culminated in an attack by the Green Berets on a simulated storage facility for sarin,the deadly nerve agent allegedly used by Syrian forces earlier this month.

   Intelligence experts fear jihadists will bring sarin back to Britain from war-torn Syria, where it is said to be relatively easy to obtain after six years of civil war.

 Huge bombs containing sarin,earlier this month, were dropped on the village of Khan Sheikhoun, killing a minimum of 86 people and injuring more than a hundred.
