UN watchdog confirms mustard gas attack in Syria

The UN chemical weapons watchdog has confirmed with “utmost confidence” that mustard gas was used in Syria in August during fighting between rebels and jihadi and likely killed a child.
Experts also found toxic chemicals, including chlorine, were likely used as a weapon in an attack in Idlib province in March, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) said in statement on Friday.
Three reports have been sent by the head of the OPCW to the body’s 192 members after separate missions to investigate incidents in Syria.
