OPCW: Chlorine gas attacks in Syria were systematic and repeated
An advance team of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the United Nations arrives in Damascus, Syria, four days after the OPCW Executive Council and the U.N. Security Council unanimously endorsed a plan to begin the process of overseeing the destruction of the country’s chemical weapons program. The team, which includes 19 OPCW inspectors and 14 UN staff members, went into Syria over land from the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons announced Wednesday that a fact-finding mission in Syria discovered "compelling information" that chlorine gas was used as a weapon in northern Syria earlier this year.
The Mission examined evidence, including video and medical records, and conducted interviews with victims, eyewitnesses and medical responders to attacks on the northern villages of Al Tamanah, Talmanes and Kafr Zeta.
Based on its study, the Mission concluded in its report that "the descriptions, physical properties, behavior of the gas, and signs and symptoms resulting from exposure, as well as the response of patients to the treatment, leads the FFM to conclude with a high degree of confidence that chlorine, either pure or in mixture, is the toxic chemical in question."
