THE conviction that Bashar Assad’s regime has begun to use chemical weapons is gaining strength. Israel’s most senior military-intelligence analyst, Brigadier-General Itai Brun, said on April 23rd that there was strong evidence that sarin, a lethal nerve agent, had been and was continuing to be deployed. Israeli intelligence sources added that satellite images and witness testimony had “conclusively determined” the use of a nerve agent. Photographs showing victims with constricted pupils and foam coming from their mouths are consistent with poisoning by the compound.
I think the US is going to get involved sooner rather than later.
