Assad's 1000-Ton Chemical Arsenal: Dictator Has A Stockpile Of Sarin And Lethal Nerve Agents, Say French Spies -- Daily Mail

A leaked intelligence briefing states regime has 1,000 tonnes of poison gas
French agents said Assad's forces behind August 21 attack that killed 1,429
President Hollande expected to use information to raise support for attack
U.S. also claims to have evidence that Syrian authorities are behind strike

America last night said it had the first proof that sarin gas was used by Syria in an attack that killed more than 1,400 civilians.

Secretary of State John Kerry claimed samples of hair and blood provided to the US by people in Damascus had ‘tested positive’ for the nerve agent.

My Comment: If these reports are true, it would mean that the Syrian government has deliberately developed the capability .... and the necessary stockpile .... to exterminate millions.
