Rebels Say Syria Killed 1600 With Chemical Weapons

Syrian rebel forces once again are accusing the regime of launching a chemical weapons attack.

This time, they say that as many as thirteen hundred people were killed by some sort of gas.

So far at least six hundred bodies have been recovered from the affected areas of Damascus.

Doctors say that the symptoms described appear similar to sarin nerve gas.

The government denied the accusations say they were attempts to discredit president Assad.

Russia was quick to back up it's ally, saying that such a claim was preposterous.

Meanwhile, western nations have called for a UN investigation.
