        @BBCBreaking If true,could this mean that Syrian regime has used persistent VX nerve gas which would now be impeding its soldiers' progress?

        @BBCBreaking This logically means the rebels are responsible for it in order to force the hand of the west and to maintain their stronghold

        @BBCBreaking chemical agents were certainly released but by who? The rebels are attention seekers and will do everything to get that.
