Syria to face further chemical weapons investigations

The Hague based chemical watchdog, Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) will send a fact finding mission to Syria to further investigate allegations of chlorine gas attacks, reports Reuters.

The announcement of an investigation by the OPCW, follows over 3 allegations of government chemical gas attacks by the Syrian rebels.
