    Syria gas attacks: the clear and concise evidence from UN chemical weapons inspectors

    UN concludes sarin gas used in conditions 'designed to cause maximum suffering'

    A grim United Nations inspectors' report offered "clear and convincing evidence" on Monday that

    poison gas was used "on a relatively large scale" in the Ghouta suburbs of Damascus on 21 August

    when weather conditions - cold, falling air - ensured it would cause maximum death and suffering,

    seeping silently into basements and underground shelters.

    While the document, submitted formally to the Security Council by the Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon,

    does not explicitly assign responsibility for the attacks, it clearly suggests that in at least two

    instances rockets designed to release sarin gas were fired from the direction of territory held by

    government forces. One of those appeared to have come from the direction of a large Syrian army base.

    Full story Independent.
