7:45Now PlayingFootage has emerged alleging that chlorine gas was used against civilians in Syria. John Iadarola and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“In the darkness of the Syrian night, there was no way for the residents of Saraqib to see the green and yellow clouds of toxic gas. But they soon felt them.
Dozens of civilians - mainly women and children - were rushed to a makeshift hospital with their lungs burning from chlorine gas. Grown men writhed in pain while rescue workers struggled to fit an oxygen mask over the tiny face of a baby caught up in the attack.
The chemical weapon was dropped onto the town by the Assad regime late on Monday evening in an apparent act of revenge after nearby rebels shot down a Russian transport helicopter, killing five Russian troops.
The regime helicopter swept over the town of 30,000 and dropped at least two canisters of liquid chlorine, a chemical with a thousand benign uses now turned into a weapon of war by Syria’s government against its own people.”
