[quote]British military scientists have found forensic evidence that chemical weapons have been used in the conflict in Syria, the Times newspaper reported on Saturday. A soil sample thought to have been taken from an area close to Damascus and smuggled back to Britain has provided proof that “some kind of chemical weapon” had been fired, it quoted defence sources as saying. The tests were carried out at the Ministry of Defence’s chemical and biological research establishment at Porton Down, it added in the front-page story. Diplomats at the United Nations said on Thursday that Western Nations have “hard evidence” that chemical weapons have been used at least once in the Syrian war, without giving details.
The British team were unable to discern whether the weapons had been fired by President Bashar Al Assad’s regime or by the rebels fighting him, nor could they say if there had been widespread use, The Times said. It cited an unnamed source as saying: “There have been some reports that it was just a strong riot-control agent but this is not the case — it’s something else, although it can’t definitively be said to be sarin nerve agent.”[/quote]
Shouldn't we've got reports from the hospitals by now, if the used chemicals are more than just "strong riot-control agent"?
I have just finished my gas training in the service. This is both disturbing and exciting in a scary way.
This is allegedly a video of chemical weapons victims in Syria taken by Al Jazeera journalists:

I wonder if they are withholding what particular chemical weapon was used or the testing methods can't accurately detail what was used. In any case, it seems incredibly strange that the use of chemical weapons was isolated and incredibly tiny. I'd hesitate to say the Syrian army has made it a policy to use them (or indeed, did use them at all. It's a bloody mystery)
As far as I know it cant be Anthrax, because if either side used it it would only end up bringing more negative attention....
As strange as it sounds, who else believes it could possibly be some new prototype chemical weapon they are testing?
Maybe mustard gas or VX.
Though if it would have been VX there would have been some reports of it since its so damn deadly compared to any other nerve agent.

Do you even have any logical backing to what you're saying

Anthrax is a biological agent.
Sounds like Britain trying to force their way into a conflict they shouldn't be getting into
of course they're using chemical weapons
