Chlorine attack clue

THE HAGUE, Netherlands: The international chemical weapons watchdog says chlorine was likely to have been used as a weapon in the Syrian town of Saraqeb in early February, the latest report of poison gas being unleashed in Syria’s civil war.

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons released details of a report into the chlorine use yesterday. The OPCW is not mandated to apportion blame for the attack.

The mission also is investigating allegations that poison gas was used in Douma in April. – AP
