Over 1,300 Syrians die in chemical attack: Syrian government denies attack, so why are U.N. chemical weapons inspectors denied access to investigate?


Experts have long believed that Syria has large undeclared stockpiles of mustard gas and sarin nerve agent. On Wednesday, shocking photos were released showing the aftermath of a deadly chemical weapons use in Ain Tarma, a Damascus suburb where 1,300 innocent Syrians were gassed in their beds. Many of them are children.

“The attackers used rockets to release fatal fumes over the suburb in the early hours of yesterday morning as people slept in their homes,” reports a Blog from Nigeria which includes several graphic pictures of the dead.
