War in Syria: Isis used mustard gas in Syrian town Marea ‘which killed a baby’
Inspectors have confirmed that mustard gas was used in Syria during fighting earlier this year, in areas that suggest Isis was responsible. Only the Assad regime has helicopters,” US State Department spokesman John Kirby said of the attacks, which killed six members of the opposition forces. The Syrian government said it has destroyed its own stockpile of chemical weapons, under an agreement which was brokered between the US and Russia after the Assad regime used the nerve agent sarin in 2013. The government suffered a setback on Thursday, however, when it lost control of the town of Morek, which lies on the main road between Aleppo and Hama to the south. France announced today that it was deploying its aircraft carrier, Charles de Gaulle, to the eastern Mediterranean to help in the fight against Isis. (source: Independent) How it works?
