Sarin or similar used in Idlib attack—chemical weapons watchdog

None

AMSTERDAM—Sarin or a similar banned toxin was used in an attack in Syria's Idlib province on April 4 that killed nearly 90 people, the global chemical weapons watchdog said on Wednesday.

 

The finding supported earlier testing by Turkish and British laboratories.

 

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons' Director General Ahmet Uzumcu said results of the analysis "indicate that sarin or a sarin like substance was used".
