Syrian opposition, activists report chemical attack in Idlib
None
Syrian activist groups on Wednesday reported another suspected chemical attack in the northwestern province of Idlib, with one group tweeting that a dozen people were "suffocating."
Several Idlib-based groups said government helicopters dropped at least two barrel bombs containing chlorine on the town of Saraqeb, triggering cases of suffocation. The Syrian Network for Human Rights, which is based outside the country, tweeted that 12 people were "suffocating." The reports could not be independently verified. A call to Syria's mission to the UN rang unanswered Wednesday evening. The head of Syria's main opposition group in exile said he received the reports during his informal meeting with the UN Security Council behind closed doors.
