Confirmed by labs in France ... nerve gas used by the Syrian Govt.
With Assad getting high level backing (and advanced weapons) from Russia and Iran, he has now re-taken all of the suburbs in Damascas. At least, that's the "truth" based on published news reports. It appears that Assad is re-gaining control in Syria.

All told ... an unfortunate series of events - because it looks like Assad is going to get away with these uses of nerve gas, and the West is not going to lift a finger. That's not a good precedent.

True Assad father.
But seams rebels also use gas getting high level backing (and advanced weapons and training) from E.U. France and UK at the head.
 
Sergic08 - thanks for bringing up Halabja. I remember that news about the Kurds - but to be honest I did not comprehend how many casualties were involved there. Here is the Wikipedia article ...

Halabja poison gas attack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

While it is clear that the Iraqi's were the primary culprits in Halabja - it's eye opening to go back and look at the global companies that provided the precursor chemicals for that attack.

it looks like things are repeating themsevles in Syria - although on a much smaller scale. it seems unlikely that the real people giving the orders, or the ones supplying the chemicals, will be held responsible in Syria.
