Videos Indicate Possible New Chemical Weapons Attack in Syria

Via Interpreter Magazine, which has compiled some of the most convincing evidence from Reddit users, a new chemical weapons attack on Syrian civilians may recently have been launched.

Videos from the Syrian city of Kafr Zita show a suspicious bomb exploding and the gruesome aftermath. The explosion, which bursts with a haze of yellow smoke and is followed by a series of smaller flashes indicating that the ordinance exploded was a cluster device, is followed by videos of civilians in a field hospital requiring oxygen to breathe.

Foreign reports have indicated recently that the Syrian government has engaged in new campaign of chemical warfare against Syrian rebels, but some of those agents may not be those which Bashar al-Assad‘s regime committed to dispose.
