Syrian activists accuse government of further chemical weapons attacks

In the fourth allegation this week, Syrian activists today published online, alleged evidence of chemical weapons attacks on civilians, reports the BBC.

Opposition activists also published photographs of injuries similar to those suffered from chemical weapons attacks.

A UN inquiry in December found credible evidence of the usage of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict.
The Syrian government failed to meet a deadline in February to hand over its 1300 tonne chemical weapon agent stockpile and has an impending deadline in June to destroy all its chemical weapons.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an organisation based in London that reports on and analysis the conflict in Syria estimates that over 150,000 people have been killed in the conflict so far.
