70 dead in Syria gas attack, rescuers say

Wow Sgt Wayne Wood thanks for sharing the news that rescuers and medics say at least 70 people have died in Syria in a suspected gas attack in Douma, the last rebel-held town in Eastern Ghouta.
"A spokeswoman said reports on the ground suggested a much higher number of around 180 dead, but that it was hard to reach victims due to continuous shelling and the time of night.
She added there were reports of people being treated for symptoms including convulsions and foaming of the mouth, consistent with nerve or mixed nerve and chlorine gas exposure.
As the allegations emerged, Syria's state news service Sana said the reports were invented by the Jaish al-Islam rebels who remain in control in Douma.
"Jaish al-Islam terrorists are in a state of collapse and their media outlets are [making] chemical attack fabrications in an exposed and failed attempt to obstruct advances by the Syrian Arab army," state media said."

Sgt Wayne Wood a comrade was attacked with Sarin gas in Desert Storm. Chemical attack is a terrifying confrontation and life afterwards is terrible if one survives it. If the Syrian government did this to her own citizens, then the US involvement in the war on terrorism is probably nowhere near ending.

Truly sad news.
