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
