- Summary:
- A report on the August 2013 Sarin nerve gas attack on Syrian residents in the suburbs of Damascus which U.S. authorities estimate killed over 1,400 civilians, including many children. The rockets delivering the gas were types used by the Syrian army and launched from land held by the dictatorship under Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. No one has been held responsible. Includes interviews with: Kassem Eid, resident of Moadamiyah who shared video from the attack; Scott Cairns, chemist and lead inspector for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons; and unidentified eyewitnesses of the attack.
