Syria: gas attack kills at least 58, US points finger at Assad ‘barbarism’

A suspected Syrian Government chemical attack kills scores of people, including children, in the north-western province of Idlib, according to observers and officials on the ground.

The attack caused many people to choke or faint, and some had foam coming out of their mouths, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, citing medical sources who described it as a sign of a gas attack.

“I was asleep when the warplane hit us,” said one victim, a young boy, from a nearby hospital.
