How Is Syria Still Using Chemical Weapons?
Despite an agreement reached years ago, chemicals have been used repeatedly on the country's battlefield.
The Assad regime has been accused of using chemical agents on rebels and civilians several times over more than six years of civil war in Syria. The first prominent attack came in 2013 in Ghouta, a Damascus suburb—about a year after Barack Obama declared that using such weapons would cross a “red line” and “would change our calculus” about intervening. That attack killed 1,000 people. , on Tuesday in Idlib province, is said to have killed dozens, and came days after Nikki Haley, the that America’s “priority is no longer to sit and focus on getting Assad out.”
