Watchdog says has evidence of chlorine attacks in Syria
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Inspectors from the global chemical weapons watchdog have found "compelling evidence" that chlorine gas was used "systematically and repeatedly" as a weapon in northern Syria this year, the watchdog said in a statement on Wednesday. The Hague, Netherlands-based Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons said it had seen a "marked reduction" in reported chlorine attacks since sending a fact-finding mission in May, but that there had been a "spate of new allegations" in August.
