New Syrian-Iranian chlorine bombs make mockery of US-Russian chemical accord and UN monitors

"On April 11, Syrian planes dropped the new weapon, made of Chinese-manufactured chlorine gas canisters rigged with explosive detonators, on Kafr Zita near Hama. Since then, British and French intelligence sources have reported at least four such attacks against the northern towns of Idlib and Homs and the Harasta and Jobar districts outside Damascus. Assad is dropping these gas bombs at the rate of one every three days.

...Iranian diplomats go around the world asserting that their religion - and a specific fatwa by their supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - prohibits their use of weapons of mass destruction. President Obama has even quoted this. Syria’s civilian victims of Iranian-Syrian chlorine bombs will no doubt take comfort from this assurance."
